Jim and Pam are the best couple in TV history for so many reasons. Besides being the cutest, they have taught viewers over the years that love is not always fun. They have also taught us that life has a lot of ups and downs, but if you find the right person, you can get through it
Friends first
The Office has made it seem like being friends first before dating someone is the best way to go. Many people happen to agree with this. Jim and Pam are the perfect example of how this happens. Everyday for five seasons, Jim sat across from Pam as she was the receptionist for the office. He was always at her desk just talking to her. They became really close friends and from there, things took off. The office teaches us that being friends first is probably a good idea. Jim and Pam really got to know each other this way.
Waiting has its benefits
Jim waited for Pam for so long while she was dating/engaged to Roy. Jim has taught us that waiting for something is very hard, but in the end it will most likely be worth it. Usually when you wait for something for a very long time like Jim did, it's even better when you finally get it.
LDR's are possible
Even though Pam goes away to art school for a while, her and Jim make it work. They love each other so much that they decide to stay together through their long distance relationship. Jim and Pam even go as far as getting the worlds tiniest bluetooth pieces to keep in their ears so they can talk to each other all day, every day. They have taught us that if the love is real, the relationship will last. More importantly, they have taught us that dating can be tough, but if you work hard, you can survive a long distance relationship. Jim and Pam even got engaged in the middle of their long distance relationship.
Love does not always look good
Jim loved Pam from the start. Even when she was her frizzy haired self, Jim loved Pam for more reasons than just her looks. This is a good lesson from Jim and Pam because they have taught us that if you love someone, you should accept them as they are, and not really care too much about how they look. When Pam gets pregnant, she even throws up in the office and is constantly complaining about smells and pains. Jim sticks with her through it all.
Support is important
Jim and Pam have taught us that supporting your significant other is very important in a relationship. Supporting one another will keep the both of you happy which will in return, keep the relationship as a whole happy. On Jim and Pam's wedding day, Pam gets upset because she doesn't feel good about herself. To make her feel like everything is okay, Jim cuts off half of his tie.
Appreciate one another
Jim and Pam have taught us that appreciating each other in a relationship is everything. Without appreciation, one person can start feeling like they are being taken for granted. Jim and Pam give us great examples of how they show appreciation for one another.
And of course, we can't forget about this note that Pam found from Jim...how cute is that?
Hold on to true love
Lastly, Jim and Pam have taught us to hold on to true love. When you find that special someone, don't let go.
