Best and Worst Couples of All

BEST AND WORST Couples of All Time

by Farah Khedre

True love is a rare feat, which is why most couples never make it to the finish line. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the lovers of failed relationships didn’t have what it takes to make it work or that they didn’t love each other. It only means that their love wasn’t true, as true love never dies. Love is not measured by how many years two people have been together, or if they got a happily ever after or not. It’s measured by how well they handle the situations they’re put in. We have tried to round up the best and the worst on-screen and real life couples to this date. Let’s take a look!

Monica and Chandler Monica and Chandler were each other’s best friends above all. Chandler and every other character on the show often joked about how much better Monica could do. But what makes them one of the cutest couples in our eyes, is the fact that Monica never made him feel like he doesn’t deserve her.

BEST COUPLES

Jesse and Celine They were two strangers who met on a train and ended up spending a magical night together in Vienna. The series of Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight depicts a rare, real, raw and emotional love story, unlike most romantic films. Their love isn’t glorified and written in a way that would make it sound like a fairytale. It’s honest and beautiful.

Phil and Claire Dunphy They complete each other, because each of their imperfections helps balance the relationship. And in my opinion, they portray one of the best modern life marriages.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. They started dating way back on the set of I Know What You Did Last Summer and have been together ever since. Anyone can tell they are a great couple because the tabloids are not often filled with rumours about their relationship. They keep their private life private. Look how well that worked out for them! Let’s hope this couple never meet their ending.

Beyonce and Jay Z They started dating in 2001 after meeting at a Vanity Fair cover shoot and got married in 2008. They obviously didn’t rush things, and that’s one of the keys to an everlasting relationship. When asked what makes her marriage to Jay-Z so easy, Queen Bee told us the key to their relationship is that they’re best friends first.

Nick Vujicic and Kanae For anyone discouraged by love, real life couple NickVujicic and Kanae will renew your faith. Marshall and Lily What made Marshmallow and Lily Pad so great, you ask? It’s that they talked everything out. Their hearts-to-hearts weren’t riddled with eye-rolling and awkward pauses. They paused their fights when needed and resumed them at the right time.

Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd Meredith and Derek didn’t have it easy, but they can’t not be on this list. Derek was the one who taught us that when two people are angry at each other, it doesn’t mean that they stop loving each other. Meredith taught us that you can easily live without the person you love, but you just don’t want to. This is what a healthy relationship is.

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan They were the kind of couple that brought warmth to your heart. They met while playing starcrossed lovers then became one of Hollywood’s hottest couples. If you’re not convinced as to why they are on this list despite the recent divorce, go check out their Lip Sync Battle videos on YouTube where both of them defy gender stereotypes. Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis It may have taken years for these two to get together, but none of us were actually that surprised when they did. After all, he was her first kiss.

WORST COUPLES

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries When Kim announced that she was filing for divorce, she said in a statement “after careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage”. That careful consideration must have been less than 72 days, because that’s how long their epic marriage lasted for. Seriously, it takes us longer than that to finish a heavy book.

Cersei and Jaime Lannister Incest, that’s why. The dysfunctional “family relationship” never had us feeling a bit of understanding or affection. Even their chemistry oozes ickiness, and we can’t be remotely sympathetic to the hardships they go through. Their bond is just too weird. Skylar and Walter White Skylar and Walter White stayed together for the sake of their family and it was apparent that love was never the reason that brought these two together. They just kind of settled into a monotonous way of life that happened to include one another. In the end, their marriage was doomed because of their selfishness and bad choices.

Ross and Rachel They were each other’s lobsters, but we were just never fans of their relationship. We all rooted for them to get back together, but they didn’t respect each other. Whenever he was about to move on, she would destroy his relationship one way or another, and he had zero respect for her interests and opinions.

Penny and Leonard He wants a trophy wife and she wants a sugar daddy. She always seizes the chance to make fun of how geeky he is and he compliments nothing about her except her ravishing looks. No, thank you.

Edward Cullen and Bella Swan Real love makes you strong and builds your character. The love Edward and Bella had could barely make a paper kite fly. She just whined the entire time he was not with her, and all he did was look at her with piercing eyes and prove to her how fragile she really was. Lesser fools than us would find it romantic.

Romeo and Juliet Their story is the epitome and probably beginning of forbidden love. We know we’ll be the odd ones out admitting to how bad we think this relationship was, but hear us out. Juliet fakes death to be with Romeo, and when Romeo finds her with a heart that doesn’t beat, he kills himself to be with her. And when she wakes up from her “fake” death, she cries over his dead body and kills herself for real. Does that sound at all like a relationship anyone should be in awe of? True love might kill you, just not literally. Mischa Barton and Benjamin McKenzie Those two were tricky. On one hand we loved the actors, but on the other hand something about the characters just didn’t add up. Mostly because of Mischa’s character, Marissa, the girl seriously lacked any form of character. It was a nightmare watching her most of the times on the show. It’s safe to say that we were all rooting for Ryan to break up with her.

Fitz and Olivia Olivia is strong and independent and could easily be one of the most badass women on TV. But somehow, whenever she’s around Fitz, she melts like a popsicle and loses all her logic and common sense. Fitz, on the other hand, must be the most emotionally manipulative jerk on the face of the planet.

Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen Seriously, they were literally one of the worst couples we’ve ever seen on screen. We think we speak for everyone when we say that the couple lacked any form of believable chemistry that sometimes it was even hard to watch.
