20 Illustrations That Show What True Love Looks like in a Long-Term Relationship

Artist Amanda Oleander knows and has seen what others have not about the love that couples in a long-term relationship share. And captures that in adorable relatable art that will remind you of your "forever person".

Finding the right partner is tough. It's like having to wade through a slew of people, trying to find the one who is the right fit for you. But once you find that one person who loves you for who you are, everything else just seems to fall into place. One year goes by, then three, then five - and in all those years, it's the small things that show the love and bond you have with each other. Those tiny gestures that never faded kept that faith in each other strong.

And Los Angeles-based artist Amanda Oleander captures these cute long-term couple moments in her illustrations. Using her own romantic relationship and other memories as inspiration, she illustrates her comics sharing what love really looks like when there's no one around.

“I am captivated by the way people behave behind closed doors — things we all do but do not really talk about or share on social media,” Oleander told Miami Herald. “I think if we tried to photograph those moments, it would change the way we behave, so I draw them.”
