Which televison couple best describes you and your mate?

As I'm pondering on the question at hand, I'm filled with a little tickling laughter thinking about my marriage and seeing many similarities between us and some relationships portrayed on television.  But, of course, one stands out above the rest.  I can soooo relate to the relationship between Dwayne and Whitley Wayne. 

Dwayne always managed to bring Whitley back to reality when her extremely boogee attitude reached it's peak.  Both were serious about their careers and held each other, their closest friends and family close to their hearts.  Whitley certainly wasn't Mrs. Susie Homemaker, but she took care of her "pookie" the best way she knew how, by showering him with love, support and affection!  And her "pookie" took care of her.  He always did a little extra to make her smile, even if it meant working over time to satisfy her expensive taste.     

Below is my short list of television couples.  I can certainly see some similarities with the couples below and the couples I'm surrounded by.  Feel free to add more couples to the list.  I'd love to hear your feedback.

Cliff and Clarie Huxtable -  Television's favorite couple of all time!  They were able to juggle successful careers and raise their five children in a loving, fun, down-to-earth, family-oriented environment.  Both Cliff and Clarie knew how to "stay in their lane." They ran their household with dual leadership and respect for one another. 

Derek and Meredith Shepherd - So it's not your typically (or realistic) ending to a one-night stand, but the drunken hookup ended in loving, romantic bliss.  This couples common interest is saving other peoples lives connect them on many levels.  Even though they live together, work together and share the same friends, they never can get enough of each other.

Homer and Marge Simpson - We all wonder how Marge puts up with her idiotic husband, but all-in-all he’s her Homey.  Their love has endured the many trials and tribulations HE has brought to their life.  In this relationship, although Homer "brings home the bacon," Marge defiantly is the head of the household.  Husband and children look to her for direction, solutions and support.

Dan and Roseanne Conner - Mr. & Mrs. blue-collar.  This marriage was full of its ups and downs.  Even through their financial struggles, bothersome in-laws and sometime horrible acting children, they stilled managed to show true love for each other.

Ricky and Lucy Ricardo - Lucy was a devoted housewife and an attentive mother whose scatter-brained tactics turned any ordinary household chore into a complete and unprecedented disaster.  Lucy's husband, Ricky Ricardo, was an attractive gentleman with an excitable personality, but his patience was frequently was tested by his wife's antics.

Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big - Carrie’s on-again, off-again romance with Big gave her a lot of grief through the years, but also much joy. And through it all, they knew in their hearts they were destined to be together.


Help add to the list!
