  It's easy to be cynical about relationships these days. We become jaded and hide behind irony and our online profiles. Tinder, anyone? But these amazing couples are proof that everlasting love isn't a corny cliché—it can happen. And when it does, it's as close to real magic as anything there is in life. I think this is something we could all stand to be reminded of from time to time.
