It is a sad fact that not all romantic relationships are perfect. However, stories about couples who are content and joyful are more appealing to read. These stories often involve couples who found happiness by marrying their closest companion.
It’s the Small Things
In a healthy relationship, grand displays aren’t necessary to bring happiness to your partner. In fact, even small gestures can be enough. However, it might be surprising to see your partner get so delighted by an empty box.
Helping as Best as You Can
It is obvious that not everyone possesses certain skills. Cooking, for instance, could be one of those skills. However, if you are married to your best friend, you would likely want to assist them whenever possible, even if that means using unconventional methods.
As the saying goes, the importance lies in the intention. Moreover, can we truly say that this method is less efficient than the usual mixing tool? In any case, he is putting forth his best effort.
On Thin Ice
Men are aware that telling a jokes, no matter how clever, can easily upset their partner. However, they still choose to make such jokes, risking the consequence of being in trouble, just to amuse themselves, without necessarily entertaining anyone else.
However, if fortune favors them, their spouse, who happens to be their closest companion, might at least muster a smile before banishing them to the couch for the night.
Taking Pride and Responsibility
It is important to take pride in your work and accomplishments, but there are situations where it may not be appropriate, like this one. It is unlikely that the wife finds her husband’s t-shirt amusing, considering she is in labor.
However, it is necessary to find enjoyment in one’s own way, and this individual is certainly achieving that. We shouldn’t criticize him for attempting to create a lighter atmosphere, even if it may only have a positive effect on himself.
Birds of a Feather
The saying goes that opposites attract, but in truth, the most joyful relationships tend to be between individuals who share more similarities than differences. However, it’s worth mentioning that if you and your partner happen to select identical gifts for each other on your anniversary, well, there’s no denying the perfect match!
It could simply be a strange and unexpected occurrence, but in any case, it’s definitely an indication that you have chosen a great partner to be with for the rest of your life.
Ask and You Shall Receive
If your best friend always comes through for you when you ask for a favor, it follows that if your husband goes above and beyond when you request something special, he must be your best friend. It goes without saying that this man successfully fulfilled your request without any shortcomings.
Certainly, the wife’s contentment with the situation serves as additional evidence of their strong friendship.
Adults Are Just Big Kids
Is it true that if you are unable to engage in playful activities, have carefree enjoyment, and laugh like young students with your partner, then maybe you did not choose the right person to marry? It is crucial to be able to have a good time with the individual you are committing to for a lifetime. This individual recognized this fact right from the beginning.
Find a partner who will consistently lighten your daily worries, even if it means doing something as whimsical as hiding in the nooks of a couch.
Weird Alone, Weirder Together
Avoid partnering with someone who will criticize or evaluate you based on your true self. If you have unique quirks, seek a spouse who shares those quirks, and your marriage will be joyfully unconventional. After all, it’s preferable to have an eccentric relationship than one that is negative or boring.
What are they doing in this image? It’s difficult to say for certain, but what truly matters is that they are clearly having a good time.
The Long Haul
While it’s common for couples to start dating in high school, what about those who started dating in middle school? If you and your spouse have been together since the early years of puberty, it’s likely that you were destined for each other from the beginning.
Furthermore, if you have known someone for such a significant amount of time, it is highly likely that you are acquainted with all of their unique characteristics and idiosyncrasies. Moreover, you most likely have a positive opinion of them, as evidenced by your choice to marry them despite these quirks.
Food Is Love, Food Is Life
If someone is aware of your precise desires and timing, then you’ve discovered someone worth holding onto, especially when it comes to food. Because, let’s face it, who wouldn’t be ecstatic to find out that their significant other has provided them with delicious treats just when they were longing for them?
Lost and Found
Couples wearing matching shirts is both an adorable gesture and a testament to their deep love and ability to playfully tease each other without losing the affection they share. It may seem trivial, but it serves as undeniable evidence of their bond.
The issue here is that Jan appearing on the back of a shirt and identifying herself could be quite perplexing for people who saw her for the first time and had no context for her actions.
The Height of Romance
Certain individuals believe that true romance revolves around extravagant expenditures on luxurious items. Nevertheless, genuine romance reaches its pinnacle when one can sincerely appreciate the company of their partner, engaging in activities that genuinely bring them joy. Sharing a simple evening at home, indulging in pizza and a movie while clad in pajamas, is an exceptional experience that is hard to surpass.
You know you’ve achieved success when you can set aside a whole day to relax and do nothing with your partner, and both of you find contentment in that.
All the Right Moves
Find a companion who can greet you with the wonderful aroma of freshly prepared pizza. Achieving this is a true victory in life, as it is difficult to imagine anyone being unhappy in such a scenario, except if there happens to be pineapple on the pizza.
Let us put it this way: If you marry someone who isn’t your closest companion, the likelihood of them waking you up with pizza is highly unlikely. Believe us, it’s a proven fact.
There’s Strength in Unity
Imagine this scenario: you and your partner always dressing in identical outfits. While it may seem strange at first, consider the benefits. Think of the money you would save by not needing to purchase a wide range of clothes. Additionally, this could attract attention and prompt people to take photos of both of you, like this example.
Converting! Wait…
Similar Interests Rule
Avoid marrying someone who lacks interest in the things you enjoy. Instead, choose a partner who shares your enthusiasm and passion for the things you love. The more engaged they are in your interests, the more rewarding your relationship will be. This couple recognized this principle even before tying the knot, hence why they decided to get these specific tattoos…
Remembering that enjoying the same activities is crucial for enjoying each other’s company is vital. Don’t overlook this undeniable truth.
In it to Win It
Yes, we understand that this isn’t an exceptionally unusual scenario – two people meet at a young age, grow up together, and eventually get married. However, regardless of its rarity, the cuteness of their story remains unaffected. This kind of relationship undoubtedly shows that they are best friends, wouldn’t you agree?
To be honest, we’re quite amazed at the number of couples who initially meet during their middle school years. It could be attributed to the surge of hormones experienced during that phase.
Matching in Fashion and Personality
As the individual who shared this picture mentioned, we wholeheartedly concur that only very close friends would be able to persuade one another to wear matching fashion items like these. However, it’s worth noting that having confidence in what you wear can make almost anything look good, including pink slacks!
It may seem a bit unusual, but why should that matter? Embrace the unique style, as long as you both have confidence in it. This is what true friends and partners support each other in doing!
Making the Most of the Golden Years
According to the image, it is important to prioritize fitness as we age. Maintaining good health in our later years is crucial, but typically, staying fit is not an enjoyable experience. However, if we have a companion like a best friend who becomes a spouse, they can make the journey of staying fit more enjoyable and fun.
This is a lesson that this older couple clearly learned some time ago. No doubt, it’s much more fun staying in shape when you have someone you love doing it with you!
He’s a Skater Boy: Her, Not So Much
So, maybe you don’t have the right skills to go skateboarding with your hubby. But do you need to, when you can just ride around in a shopping cart instead? Some people would say no, and anyone who says otherwise is wrong. After all, the girl looks like she’s enjoying herself just fine, and so does her man.
Besides, this way, if something does go wrong, she can blame any injuries on him. It’s the best of both worlds, right?
Two Peas in a Pod
Some people like to have their bathroom privacy, while others like to have their partner involved at the same time. Depends on what they’re doing, probably, and how comfortable they are with each other. This couple clearly has no problem doing the exact same thing right next to each other.
Being comfortable with your partner to the extent that you can do almost anything next to each other is rarer than some may think, and definitely deserves to be appreciated.
Comfort Above All
If you can’t wear something comfortable around your significant other, did you really marry the right person? We believe that a husband and wife should be able to dress in whatever they darn well please without it being a problem between them. This couple has the right idea, which is probably why they’re happy.
Real relationship goals look like this. And we have to say, they are pretty adorable. Matching outfits usually helps with that.
The Right to Be Ridiculous
Good friends do silly things together. Best friends do ridiculous things together. Best friends who end up getting married are no different. You should be able to do ridiculous things and laugh at yourself with the person you love, rather than worrying about what anyone else thinks.
These two have definitely adhered to this truth. And while they may look odd to everyone else, they’re likely having a ton of fun together.
Explanations Are Unnecessary
This gets said many times throughout this article, but that’s because it’s just a universal truth — people who are really close to each other often find themselves doing silly, ridiculous things for no real reason at all. This couple doesn’t even know what they’re doing, but they’re having a blast doing it.
That’s the best thing about being in a committed relationship with your best friend — you don’t have to justify what you do! After all, they’ll probably just join you in doing it anyway!
Making the Years Count
It’s not about how many years you are together, it’s what you pack into those years. Of course, if you happen to have a lot of worthwhile years under your belt, well all the better, right? This couple clearly has had many years to enjoy, and enjoy them they have, best as we can tell.
Being this adorable of a couple when you hit old age is something every couple should strive for, in our opinion.
No Escape, No Desire To
Some may ask — is this really a sign of a best friend married couple? Well, look at it this way. If you didn’t really, really love the person in question, would you really want to be stuck next to them all day in such a fashion? Yeah, probably not.
Best friends who get married don’t need breaks from each other like some other couples do, because they never get tired of one another.
Love Is an Adventure
You don’t go on adventures with people you don’t like. Even being married, some couples don’t really like spending time with each other that much. This couple, on the other hand, has a grand time while doing something as simple as biking around the city, just like all couples should.
We’re just saying, you don’t do this kind of thing with someone that you don’t really like spending time with. So, we feel that makes these two fairly close.
Making Your Own Fun
When you’re married to your best friend, making your own fun isn’t extremely hard to do. In fact, it almost comes naturally. This couple could easily get on their phones or watch TV or do anything else — which could still be fun, sure, but would it really stack up to what they’re doing here?
Well, we can’t say. But, according to them it wouldn’t, and who are we to say otherwise? When you make your own fun, it’s as enjoyable as you say it is!
Just for Fun
‘Just for fun’ is a perfectly valid excuse when you want to do something with your best friend. It’s also a perfectly valid excuse for best friends turned couples. Sure, as he states, the man could easily reach what the woman wants, but why do things so plainly? Where’s the fun in that?
Be they friends or lovers, one doesn’t let the other do things in a way that’s no fun. Because, well, that’s just no fun.
World’s Cheapest Wedding Reception
Look, if your wife is OK with eating McDonald’s after getting married, you’re just super lucky. You have to be best friends, because we can’t imagine any other explanation for why that would be acceptable. Well, some people just really like McDonald’s, but let’s be real here.
On the other hand, they’re probably on to something in regards to how cheap the reception was, relatively speaking. Better than nothing, if one’s on a budget…
One Step at a Time
Yeah, alright, it would obviously be better if the couple was playing together, but hey — one step at a time. Having a partner that is at least willing to spend time with you as you enjoy something they don’t particularly care for is better than nothing. Besides, there’s always time to bring her to the light…
More importantly, though, what is with the angle this guy is playing at? Don’t give your woman bad ideas before she even gets started!
True Words of Wisdom
If you can’t splash bubbles in the face of your spouse without a grumpy reaction, are you really in love? This couple clearly thinks not, and we are inclined to agree with them. The ability to be silly with someone special is one of the key defining traits of a best friend relationship.
Quote us on this, we don’t mind. Maybe someone will think you’re very wise and know everything about happy relationships. We don’t need any credit for it.
Cute, But Risky
The whole hand-holding while driving thing is undeniably cute, and probably a sign of good friends in a relationship. Still, we have to say, you probably shouldn’t do it unless you’re at a red light. Just to be safe, you know.
Really, for our own peace of mind and your personal safety, it’s important to keep your attention on the road. You can be a cute couple after you get wherever you’re going.
For a Good Cause
Yes, we know we’ve had a few of these already — old couples dressing in identical outfits and all that. But, come on, does it ever really get old? Besides, this time it’s a little different because the real cornerstone of their relationship isn’t their similar fashion sense, it’s their shared love of chicken.
Mark our words everyone, a relationship built on a mutual love of good food is already standing on very strong legs.
Ride or Die
We all know what this phrase means, but few people get to see it in action at this age. This couple clearly does, though, as made evident by how at home they appear to be on this bike. Chances are, they’ve been doing this type of thing for a long time.
The addition of a cute dog naturally makes the whole thing better. Dogs make everything better, after all. Oh right, we’re supposed to be talking about the couple…
His Favorite Part of the Day
There’s really not much to say here. Or rather, not much we have to say to prove that this couple is made up of two best friends that have been together for a very long time. After all, there’s no other way to explain this level of dedication and cuteness.
Well, maybe he’s just a really great husband, but no one can really say they aren’t best friends, and we would certainly be surprised if they weren’t.
Always Up for Adventure
When you marry your best friend, you will always be up for an adventure with them, no matter how old you get. You can see this notion at work right here with this cute older couple. It’s pretty clear how they feel about each other, even in something as simple as shopping.
After all, no one likes to have fun with someone they aren’t actually friends with. Just ask anyone you know, or even yourself.
Some Things Never Change
If you’re truly best friends with the person you marry, there are some things about your relationship that will never change. Hopefully, going on regular dates is one of them. This couple, despite being in their later years, keeps doing exactly that, making it pretty clear that they are best friends.
We hope that we can be the same as this couple in the future, because we’re certain that every day would be wonderful in such a relationship.
Signing Away Your Right to Complain
It’s an age-old conundrum — wife buys something she likes, husband complains about it, both get irritated. If you marry your best friend, though, you may not have to worry about things like that. Well, not as much, at any rate. Based on this picture, the husband has only agreed to this one time.
Either way, that’s better than the zero times a lot of other husbands stick to. Let your wives enjoy things, people! Everyone likes to buy things they want; it’s not gender exclusive.
Nothing Like Being Dragged Around by the Nostrils
From the looks of it, this couple really knows how to goof around. So often we see photos on the internet of couples traveling together hand-in-hand with the gal usually leading the way.
And while those are sort of cute, this shot here says so much more about this relationship — and how truly awesome it is. You won’t find many people that are willing to stick their fingers up their partner’s nose.
The Loser Cooks
Just because you’re married doesn’t mean you have to act like an adult 100% of the time. Take this couple, for instance. They both return home from a long day’s work but rather than plopping down on the couch to tirelessly watch television, they decide to have a nerf gun war.
Does that not sound fun to you guys?! Because in all honesty, that’s the kind of relationship we want and we don’t settle for anything less…entertaining.
Wrong Coach, Right Husband
If ever there was a time to treat your significant other to some high-end fashion accessories, then their birthday would be it. This wife asked for her husband to treat to a bag designed by fashion label Coach.
It seemed like a simple request, and yet, the husband thought of an even better idea. He ended up getting Craig T. Nelson from the hit sitcom Coach printed on a simple bag. Thankfully, his wife saw the funny side of it.

So he went across the street, bought some chicken nuggets, and became the most awesome boyfriend ever! He even fed them to her during her session!
Puppy Love
Any couple who has a pet knows what it’s like. You use that beloved animal as a symbol of your own love. It’s perfectly normal to send each other photos of your dog or cat making different funny poses in order to convey the emotion you are feeling at that moment.
However, this girlfriend decided to put this concept to a slightly different use. She used her dog to prank her boyfriend and that’s all fine and dandy too.
Love Is a Game
As previously established in this article, some girlfriends just can’t stand how often their boyfriends play video games and have to wait for hours on end until they can get their attention.

My Makeover Dream Came True
After a long hard day at work, all you want to do is crash in your bed, maybe watch some Netflix for a couple of hours and then pass out.

The Ultimate Response
It’s perfectly fine and dandy to keep things spicy between you and your loved one throughout the day. But if you are planning on sending some suggestive photos to your significant other while they are at work, he better make sure that he opens that message in private and no one catches him.
That’s what makes this photo so hilarious. This guy’s co-workers had no idea why he asked them to take a photo of him pretending to faint.
So Much Fun Indeed
What’s the point in getting married if you can’t hate on things with your significant other? After all, isn’t that what marriage is all about? Bonding over how much you hate (or love) something with your best friend?
This couple is the epitome of that. Clearly not fans of attending any weddings that are not their own — judging by their unenthused facial expressions — these two found solace in the fact that they at least have each other.

Target > Uptown Whittier
Let’s be real, here. This couple is pretty freakin’ awesome. While most lovebirds get their photos taken somewhere romantic — or at the typically chosen spot of Uptown Whittier, according to this Twitter user — on their wedding day, these two decided to switch it up just a little.
Based on appearances, it seems like they are truly made for each other. They both had a clear understanding of their desires and pursued them. This is why it is advisable to marry your closest companion.
Pregnancy Photos
And here is additional evidence that you should not only marry your closest companion but also opt to spend the remainder of your life with someone who shares the same level of quirkiness as you. This couple accomplished precisely that.
