Love in movies doesn't have to be about drama and suffering; there is room for healthy relationships too. Don't believe it? We have at least 7 arguments.
Oh, those romantic movies! They don't follow the trend of healthy relationships at all: the characters constantly argue, dramatize, manipulate each other, and often stay together against all common sense.
To create conflict and make the film interesting to watch, directors and screenwriters often build the story around relationships with problems. And for most of the time, we watch two people who can't come to an agreement, with varying degrees of interest depending on the film.
So where to look for love? In honor of Valentine's Day, after digging through the genre archives, we've put together a selection of couples whose relationships are built on mutual understanding and compromise. Learning from the best!

Mickey and Rosalind Pearson ("The Gentlemen")
There are many reasons to fall in love with "The Gentlemen." One of them is the love between the main character Mickey and his attractive wife Rosalind. A lion and a lioness, truly.
In the world, he is a resourceful and determined businessman; at home, he is a lovesick boy whose gaze is full of admiration and respect. It's not the first time Matthew McConaughey has played such a character, but let's agree, it's much easier when your partner is the irresistible Michelle Dockery.
Gregorio and Ingrid Cortez ("Spy Kids")
In the 2000s, we wanted to be in Carmen and Juni's shoes, to become successful spies and save the world! In the 2020s, many of us wouldn't mind being in Gregorio or Ingrid's shoes – happy spouses living in love and harmony. A luxurious couple, dangerous and sexy (perhaps even excessively so for a children's film), who live together wonderfully not only as husband and wife but also as colleagues, which, you'll agree, is difficult to achieve in real life.
The chemistry between Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino is something you remember sometimes even more vividly than the absurdity of the Fooglies.
Lee and Evelyn Abbott ("A Quiet Place")
Surviving the apocalypse is easier in love and harmony than in constant struggle with your neighbor. That's what Lee and Evelyn decided. They continue to build a life, raise and have children even after the tragic death of one of them.
The beautiful relationship, played by the real-life couple John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, is certainly not central to the film, but it makes you fall in love unconditionally and irrevocably. And their dance is something you want to repeat with your significant other (but without alien attacks, of course).
Lucille and Grandpa Bud ("Meet the Robinsons")
The story of orphan Lewis touched us deeply. But we all, let's agree, were happy when he ended up with the eccentric scientists Lucille Krunklehorn and Bud Robinson. And they, in turn, are an amazing and unique couple!
Both have their own crazy interests, yet they have fun spending time together, both accept each other with all their quirks, and even love each other for those quirks. And how Lucille revisits memories of their wedding!..
Lorraine and Ed Warren ("The Conjuring")
All films in this franchise featuring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson are built on the absolute mutual understanding of two supernatural fighters. Lorraine's anxiety is perfectly complemented by Ed's rationality.
In the second part of "The Conjuring," the main character herself admits how much she values her husband, because it's hard to find someone who is faithful to you, and you to him. It's understandable; you appreciate each other much more when there's such craziness around!
Marcus and Theresa Burnett ("Bad Boys")
Who can be the opposite of the playboy played by Will Smith? Only a decent family man played by Martin Lawrence.
The relationship between Marcus and Theresa (Theresa Randle) is a bit conservative; she keeps her husband in check, but when you watch "" and see them crying at their daughter's wedding, you believe in that kind of love that is "happily ever after."
This year there were many good films, even more bad ones, but one way or another, we will definitely remember it. Before naming the best of the best, we suggest summing up the movie results with a humorous
Open materialPerdita and Pongo ("101 Dalmatians")
The beautiful Dalmatians fell in love at first sight! Their feelings were so strong that their owners couldn't resist. Perhaps Perdita and Pongo are not the most attentive parents, but the way they support each other in stressful situations is worthy of respect!
Although, perhaps it's because before the puppies were stolen, they hadn't accumulated any domestic grievances against each other, like unwashed dishes and unthrown trash…
