Nowadays, relationships portrayed in the media aren't always healthy and encourage all the wrong parts of a relationship, such as fighting, cheating, bad-mouthing each other, and being psychologically abusive. However, there are some shows out there that have the right idea and show the positive aspects of relationships, both romantically and platonically. Whether it's friendships or romantic relationships, these 11 groups of people are exactly what relationship goals should be. Kick ass together, be each other's best friends and save the world.

1. Bob and Linda Belcher


This couple from "Bob's Burgers" is far from perfect, but they have a lot of good points that we should really love. They own a failing restaurant together and have three kids; if that isn't stressful, I don't know what is! Yet, their dynamic of Linda's optimism and Bob's realism keeps the two above ground and madly in love. The couple rarely fights and when they do they makeup and both apologize. Plus, they're one of the few couples who share the parenting role!

2. Shrek and Fiona

This couple makes it on the list for redefining beauty standards. They struggled in the first movie with trying to express those feeling to one another, since neither one of them thought they were good enough for the other. When they share "true love's kiss" and Fiona permanently becomes an Ogre, Shrek's response still has us going "awwww!" Remember kids, love comes in all colors and sizes!

3. Morticia and Gomez Addams

This couple from "Parks and Recreation" are not only relationship goals, but a true power couple. They survived a political scandal, many elections, and raising triplets. How many couples do you know could do that? Leslie Knope is the extroverted, optimistic, loving person in love with the socially awkward nerd Ben Wyatt is the cutest thing.

4. Andy and April Dwyer

This couple is like if a cat and a dog got married and were happy about it. Andy makes April get out and do things and become more sociable whereas April makes Andy a little more mature. Both of them are kids at heart which is what makes their relationship work so well.

5. Drake and Josh

This is one friendship and sibling relationship we all can be jealous of. At the beginning of "Drake and Josh," they fought a lot, but Drake occasionally helped Josh with being cool and Josh would help Drake with school. By the end of the show, they were accidentally stealing an orangutan and selling it to a guy who eats orangutans. Those two got into some crazy hijinks together and god forbid if someone, other than Megan, harassed them.

6. Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy

This dynamic duo is amazing and doesn't get enough credit. Poison Ivy is one of the few people who actually tried to help Harley leave the Joker for his abusive tendencies. When Harley finally did, she and Poison Ivy kicked ass and became a total kickass team! Now, the animated show hints at lesbian relationship forming between the two and it's recently been confirmed by Harley Quinn writers that the two are in a romantic relationship together.

7. Liz Lemon and Jack Donaghy

The mentor and the mentee, these two started out at a boss and his employee but over the course of seven seasons produced one of the best platonic friendships between a man and a woman I've seen. Those two constantly bounce things off of each other and bring out the best in one another. They are brutally honest and honestly isn't that what you want from your best friend?

8. JD and Turk

These two goofballs are the best friends in any workplace. They laugh and carry on, but know when to be serious. They've lived and worked together, and when one is acting up the other calls them on it. JD and Turk may be a bunch of goobs but they're some of the best. If your S.O. can't joke that you and your best friend are really the ones in a relationship then do you really have a best friend? #bestbromanceever

9. Aang and Katara

For two and half seasons, Aang and Katara were just friends focusing on Aang mastering all the elements, but by the end of the last season they realized how much they cared about each other and ended up together. How many couples nowadays are actually best friends? Aang and Katara, like Ben and Leslie, are not only relationship goals, but a power couple as well. Aang became one of the most powerful avatars the world has ever seen, yet choose to make people laugh. Katara literally fought the patriarchy in order to properly learn water bending, but was also very nurturing. These two were a force to be reckoned with, especially with the first metal bender in the world Toph, and the warrior joker Sokka at their side. #squadgoals

10. Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger

The Golden trio of the Harry Potter series shows us the power of love, unity, and friendships. The three of them working together were able to track down all the Horcruxes and defeat Lord Voldemort for good. This trio literally saved the wizarding world. The all brought something unique to the table and it's that kind of power that draws readers in.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
