My bedtime was 9:00 pm when I was in elementary school. Full House came on Nick at Nite at 9:30 pm, and I begged every night to watch it. Sometimes (if I was really lucky and didn't piss them off at some point during the day) my mom and dad let me stay up to watch an episode of the floor in their room. A few things always went through my head: "How does Kimmy just walk in whenever she wants?," "I want DJ Tanner's life," and "Jesse really loves Aunt Becky." Netflix recently released Fuller House, and all 13 episodes had been finished within the same week of release. The same three things kept going through my head (plus all of the low-key blows to the Olsen twins, those were all hilarious). I still want to be DJ Tanner, and I guess it is fitting that Kimmy now lives in the Tanner household.
But the whole show I was just thinking: Dang. I want a relationship like Aunt Becky and Uncle Jesse. If a man (as beautiful as Uncle Jesse) can look at me after 25 years of marriage, with the same look as he did from day one, I'll die a happy girl.
So, here's 11 reasons why Aunt Becky and Uncle Jesse have always been #RelationshipGoals:
1. They know that having fun and being happy is important.
"The boys are napping, you know what that means?" It's like young love. Their relationship isn't purely physical, even though there are a million and one sexual innuendos. They have fun with every moment.
2. Their family was (and still is) perfect.
Just look at the way Jesse is looking at Becky, Nikki and Alex. The boys are adorable, and their love for each other and their kids is inspiring. Plus the boys grew up to be some lookers like their daddy! Can I be a Katsopolis next?
3. "Forever."
Even though their wedding was kind of a roller coaster, this song will never be anything but perfect. Especially when he sang it for her again on Fuller House.
4. She told him they were having a baby through Pictionary.
Nope, not a hot dog Jesse. It's a baby... actually, two.
5. THE ROSES.
Dj, Stephanie, and Kimmy all thought it was one of their guys sending a living room full of roses. Becky drops by to visit for a few days, and Jesse fills the entire living room with roses. If that doesn't scream "I adore you," I'm not sure what does.
6. They have a way with words.
They have teenage sons, and these two still know how to keep some spice in their relationship.
7. She knows how to put him in his place.
Withholding from sex... that always works, right?
And, on Fuller House -- "The Becky Special."
8. Jesse knows that serenading your girl can never end badly.
This isn't the only time it happened, but doing it at DISNEY?! You're the real winner, Uncle Jesse.
9. It's more than just their relationship.
It's about the meat of it. The important parts are deeper than just what you see at the surface level. Their relationship works because Becky was a part of the family from the get-go. He fell in love at first sight, and their family ties them together.
10. He loves her now as much as he did at first sight, 25 years ago.
Danny told Rebecca he had a brother-in-law, they met, and from there on out Jesse pretty much knew it was meant to be... even if Becky thought of him as a little brother..
"See, I find a sense of humor very attractive in a woman" - Jesse not even 5 minutes into meeting Becky
11. And he has never been afraid to show it...
Have mercy..
