OPINION | My Favorite Couples
Here's a list of couples that have stolen my heart, each with their own unique dynamic and charm.
I categorize my favorite couples by certain "vibes":
GENTLE: Couples with a soft, kind, and compassionate dynamic, often with a focus on emotional support and care.
SWEET: Couples with a warm and adorable dynamic, often with a sense of innocence, kindness and first love.
FLIRTY: Couples who enjoy sassy, charming, and seductive interactions, often with a sense of teasing and playful banter.
GOOFY: Couples who are playful, absurd, and entertaining, often with comedic moments that bring entertainment and joy.
MESSY: Couples whose relationship is complicated, tumultuous, or chaotic, often with a sense of drama and unpredictability.
