I grew up watching television couples fall in love, get married, argue over the silliest things, and somehow manage to work everything out before the closing credits. Of course, real relationships aren't nearly that convenient. Wouldn't it be nice if every disagreement could be settled in 30 minutes, including commercials?
From Ricky and Lucy Ricardo to Mike and Gloria Stivic, television has given us plenty of examples of what makes relationships work and what can drive two people absolutely crazy. Some couples taught me about patience, loyalty, honesty, and compromise. Others made me wonder why they stayed together in the first place. And as I've gotten older, I've found myself looking at some of those television romances very differently.
Here at CouchDegree.com, I revisit love stories, marriages, breakups, and relationship troubles from classic and modern television. I'll explore what these fictional couples can teach us about trust, communication, respect, and knowing when love simply isn't enough. Sometimes the lesson is romantic. Sometimes it's a warning. And sometimes it's a reminder that being single beats spending your life arguing with someone who refuses to listen.
