How Many Expensive Gifts He Buys You

How Many Expensive Gifts He Buys You Love isn't measured with money. It doesn't matter if your friend received a diamond necklace for her anniversary when your boyfriend only wrote you a poem. It's the thought that counts, so she might be just as jealous of your gift as you are of her gift. That's why you should appreciate what you have without comparing your life to her life.

How Many Pictures They Share on Social Media

How Many Pictures They Share on Social Media Haven't you ever seen a couple post a series of romantic photos and then break up the next day? That proves that the amount of pictures and posts they share on social media has nothing to do with how happy they are. It's easy to fake your love on Facebook and Instagram, so don't believe everything you read.

How Long They've Been Together

How Long They've Been Together If you've never had a boyfriend for longer than a month, don't be jealous of your friend and her husband. Short relationships can be even more fun and meaningful than long relationships. You can't judge a couple's happiness based on their time together, because some people refuse to move on when they should've left years ago.

How Often They Go on Dates

How Often They Go on Dates Yes, it's important for you and your boyfriend to go out on the town. However, you don't need to leave the house every single weekend. If you're both broke, you can't compare your relationship to your rich friend who takes hot air balloon rides with her boyfriend. Watching Netflix on the couch can be just as much fun when you're with the right person.

How Well They Get along with Each Other's Parents

How Well They Get along with Each Other's Parents It's every girl's dream to find a mother-in-law she won't hate. After all, you're going to have to deal with her during every holiday. However, some people just get lucky. That's why you shouldn't assume something's wrong with you, just because his mom hates you while all of your friends get along with their boyfriend's mothers. Every family is different.

How Often They Have Sex

How Often They Have Sex If you're happy having sex once a week, then don't try to increase the amount of intercourse, just because your friend claims she does it every single day. Do whatever you feel the most comfortable doing. The quality beats the quantity, anyway.

How Cute They Look Together

How Cute They Look Together You can't tell much by looking at a couple. Even if they look like the perfect match, they might be miserable together. That's why you shouldn't pay too much attention to the way that you look to the strangers that pass by. Anyone who actually knows the two of you already realizes that you're an amazing couple.

At the end of the day, if you two are happy, that's all that matters. Do you ever find yourself comparing your relationship to the other couples you see?

I nearly cried when I saw the gif of Scott and Allison for #4. I miss her so much. 😔

Gay garbage? @Liz you're absolutely free to go if you don't like it. Sick to death o close minde people like you.

What is up with the gay garbage? Sick to death of that being forced on the public but the liberal dominate media culture.

Oh no. How dare people different than you want to be represented as well. Those evil liberals.

Love is love whatever the gender/sexual orientation.

@Liz Every word in that sentence is a big yikes... Ignorance at its finest.

I am asexual but I absolutely love that queer people have some representation!!! More please!!! 💛

Get her... @Katie hilarious lol

How is it any different for gay couples to be forced to watch straight couples kiss? Oh that's right there is no difference. You just refuse to accept others for some made up immature reason. I love seeing same sex couples as well as heterosexual couples. You want to know why? Love is love.

Live and let live !!! Who are you to judge?????
