Sometimes, happiness means spending a lazy morning together...

It means going shopping together

putting everything to one side in order to cuddle

helping each other in the kitchen

and putting up furniture together.

It’s always better to be together, even if you’ve had a bad day.

Feeling exhausted isn’t so bad when they’re by your side.

Even brushing your teeth together before bed somehow becomes more fun.

Finding room to snuggle together on the couch becomes second nature.

Anyone who’s ever felt really close — really close — to someone will understand this.

They know that pure joy can be found in something as simple as falling asleep side by side.

Or chatting all night about everything and nothing.

Every couple has their favourite places where they go only with each other.

Just being together is the greatest joy of all.
