These ones have stood the test of time just right.

Summary:

  • Friends is one of the most fan favorite sitcoms of the 90’s.
  • Many fans consider Monica and Chandler being the perfect couple.
  • Judy and Jack Geller should be named the show’s power couple for many reasons.

We think there are almost no people who haven't heard of Friends, but just in case, it's a sitcom about six friends living in New York and trying to get on with their lives. Rachel, Joey, Ross, Monica, Phoebe, and Chandler are all so different that it makes the show relatable to literally anyone, and that's a huge win for a sitcom.

Over the course of the show, we have witnessed several major romances, such as Monica and Richard, Rachel and Ross, Monica and Chandler, Phoebe and Mike, etc. And while most of the fans were obsessed with all the "we were on a break" stuff that went on between Ross and Rachel, the rest of them were looking forward to seeing Monica and Chandler happily married.

However, there is one more couple that deserved more love and attention than it actually got. Judy and Jack Gellers are the parents of Ross and Monica and they play quite a big part in their lives.

The brilliant thing about them is that they are almost always shown on screen together, no matter what they are actually doing: visiting their kids, going on vacation, dining out. It's actually a satisfying thing to see, because as the show shows, many other older couples have gone through a lot of trouble and ended up either divorced or even on bad terms, like Rachel's parents.

“They’ve been married over 36-37 years when the show ends. That’s a really long time. They’re sexually active and seem genuinely in love and happy with each other. They have their flaws but as a couple, they seem really great. Being married that long and being happy isn’t an easy task,” Redditor baker1310 said.

It would be nice to find out what the secret of their relationship was, but I guess we will never know for sure. However, maybe binge-watch number 100 will help us discover and note down all the patterns of their behavior?
