Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly, The Office

Pining for Pam for three seasons, Jim was the ultimate hopeless romantic.

Friends first, Jim and Pam built a strong foundation for their relationship, which only made their romance that much more lovable. They are the couple you think of when you imagine soulmates, as they complement each other in way that is both sweet and inspiring.

Logan Echolls and Veronica Mars, Veronica Mars

Veronica Mars has a fan following not like any other. Fans even funded the production of Veronica Mars: The Movie, raising over $2M through a Kickstarter campaign. But, more than an interest in seeing our amateur sleuth all grown up, was a desire to see Veronica and Logan back together again. While hitting a rough patch by the end of the series, it was easy to see there was no love lost between these two.

Ben Wyatt and Leslie Knope, Parks and Recreation

Leslie Knope was one of the most optimistic and inspirational characters on TV, and unfortunately her quirks made her a bit unlucky in love. But, there is a perfect match for everyone and Ben Wyatt is, without a double, Leslie’s lobster. Ben, a nerdy accountant, awkwardly charmed his way into Leslie’s heart, bringing us a couple that couldn’t be more prefect for each other.

Eric and Tami Taylor, Friday Night Lights

At the center of Texas high school football, Coach Eric Taylor and Tami had their fair share of ups and downs. But difficult players, bratty children and job opportunities that would take them away from their home in Dillon weren’t enough to put a chink in their armor. Good or bad, Eric and Tami were an everyday couple that loved and respected each other over anything else.
