Blair and Chuck showed us that a relationship could be both proper and scandalous and that second chances could blossom into great things! At the end of the day, they were each other’s biggest fans and their biggest supporters and were willing to fight for the other person until the very end.

Damon and Elena’s relationship teaches us that it’s possible to look past the faults and the things that your partner had done in the past and see the best of the person on the inside. They also show us the passion of having a love that completely consumes you and how your partner can bring out the best qualities in you.

Ross and Rachel from Friends

Ross and Rachel’s relationship taught us that it’s possible to come out of the friend zone, and when you do, you realize how great it is to be dating someone that is your best friend. They also taught us that when you’ve found your “lobster” you’d know it, and what you shouldn’t do while “on a break”. Another thing they taught us is that there’s no right time to say the “L” word and to just say it when you feel the time is right and don’t overthink it. Ross and Rachel show us that you should also never give up on the person you love, because in the end, you’ll always find your way back to each other.

Despite losing each other multiple times over the course of the show, they never give up on each other or their love. While they know they’ll never be able to carry out a “typical” life together, the love that they share is enough for the both of them!
