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.
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.
Help add to the list!
