13+ Couples Whose Love Has Stood The Test Of Time

I don't know about all of you, but I love love. I'm absolutely obsessed with it, actually. I love movies about love, songs about love, and I especially love being in love myself. I must say, love is pretty great.

But I also love love stories, because there's nothing quite like learning about two people whose own love has managed to stand the test of time.

Look, we all want to believe in true love and soulmates, but sometimes the reality of relationships can really let us down. Thankfully, the internet is full of couples who have proven that true love does, indeed, exist, and that your soulmate is most certainly out there somewhere, wasting their time with some no body until you two find each other.

Everlasting love!

15 years of kisses.

These two have documented every single one of their anniversaries with a cute picture and a kiss on the cheek.

(While the 15-year anniversary is definitely impressive, I also can't help but admire the very obvious switch from digital camera to phone pictures. Ah, technology.)

Smiles for miles.

This person's parents decided to celebrate being married for 37 years by recreating their wedding photo. And of course mom made sure to get a pic of her cheeky cake tasting face 37 years later.

"Puppy love."

Reddit | Old-Man-Clemens

When these two began dating at 10 and 11, respectively, their parents dismissed it as "puppy love" and they eventually broke up.

But they remained friends and 13 years later they admitted they still had feelings for each other. And quite rightly, this post is titled, "Puppy love my ass."

65 years of lovin'.

77 years of love.

Reddit | fleepflop

After spending an incredible 77 years together, this woman tragically passed away, but I'm sure her beloved husband will remember her and their love story fondly.

Just look at the way she's gazing at him. Those were most certainly an amazing 77 years spent together.

Then vs. Now.

What I love most about this picture is that not only does it show this couple happy together in 1975 and just as happy together today, but it also shows that tree has grown with their love.

I don't know about you but that makes me feel all gooey inside.

A love story that began at Woodstock.

Apparently, the above photo of this couple was taken 48 hours after they had met at the legendary musical festival, and the one below is them today, some 50 years later.

The power of music or the power of love? You decide.
