The happiest couples are nothing like the typical setup we read about in our favorite romance novels, or the ones we gush over in the films we watch. While romance in literature and film comes with tear jerking moments, butterflies, and hearts pounding, it has nothing on what couples around the world share.
These wonderful pairs laughingly discuss the crucial moments in their relationships: how they met, what they love about each other, and what differences taught them to coexist.
Simple, straightforward, and incredibly heartwarming, these couples eagerly share how their love withstood the test of time.
With time comes wisdom, and with wisdom comes a rare kind of joy โ an indescribable happiness that no one else in the world but you two have. Being together for more than thirty years will definitely equip you with all that you need for a solid relationship that only gets better with time: trust, laughter, respect, acceptance, and honesty.
And if you want to experience the same kind of magic, donโt let books and movies compel you to set impossibly high standards.
Sometimes, the best things just happen unexpectedly. After all, life really does have a way of surprising us.
Take these couples, for instance. No grandiose meetings and proposals โ just fate, sparks, and lots and lots of love.
โI was with my friend, and she walked in, and that changed my life altogether.โ
You donโt have to put everything on pause just to keep a lookout for life changing moments.
In carrying on with your daily routine, youโre letting fate run its proper course.
Thereโs no telling whatโs around the corner โ your soulmate could be the next person you bump into on your way to work. Or the one you always see on the daily commute.
And if the one youโve got your eye on isnโt available, let time work its magic. Take your cue from Edith and Donald.
โI was actually trying to match her up with a friend of mine,โ Donald explained.
โAnd he said, โCan I have your phone number?โ and I said, โNo, I have a boyfriend.'โ Edith added with a straight face, to which Donald replied by laughing good-naturedly.
Itโs also clear that sparks fly when one is a bold romantic with an eagerness to woo.
โWhen I met Deme, I had gone to the hospital for three months. I had a dislocated hip. And then he one day comes and he says, โWhen you come out of the hospital, weโll get married.'โ
And when you find luck on your side and you finally meet the one youโre meant to be with for the rest of your life, thatโs when the real learning starts.
Love isnโt just about the grand gestures.
Apart from sharing details into their adorably comical differences, the couples also gave great advice on staying together through the ups and downs.
โThe truth is, we were not similar, we were just willing to coexist.โ
Love is a universal language. These couples hail from different parts of the globe but thereโs one thing they all have in common: the sincerity to commit to a lifetime of navigating through ups and downs, with lots of dancing, flirting, and giggling in between.
Better than any chapter in a romance novel or a heart stopping moment in a popular rom-com, let this delightful compilation of heartwarming anecdotes and wise words remind you why love is worth opening yourself up to and fighting for.
