How do friends describe your relationship?

You and your sweetheart have had your share of ups and downs, but you are dedicated to making your relationship work, no matter what. You have open lines of communication and in the end appreciate each other’s range of traits. Unfortunately, for the Duke and Duchess of Parma, they never could come to an understanding about their shortcomings. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and if this canvas could talk, it would tell a tale of arranged marriage, infidelity, and resentment.

Duke and Duchess of Parma

Always in the throes of young love, you and your partner act like today is the first day you met: butterflies in the stomach, sweaty palms, and googly eyes. Every day is Valentine’s Day at your house, whether you are serenading your companion or leaving love poem sticky notes on the refrigerator. The idealized French countryside is the setting for Rienzi’s Fètes Galantes couple. 
Basking in each other’s love and admiration, this duo has only eyes for each other. Find these affectionate lovebirds in the Ballroom at [Rienzi](http://www.mfah.org/rienzi).

“Fètes galantes” couple

Everyone says opposites attract, and you know that you and your sweetheart are meant for each other despite your differences. Sure, you have had moments of intense disagreement, but in the end, only the two of you get each other. Thankfully, you are nothing like the tempestuous Roman gods Venus and Vulcan who were also mismatched. These two could never embrace their differences and just kept torturing each other with betrayal and distrust.

Venus and Vulcan

You and your significant other are constant and steady, and you have the serene family life to prove it. No matter what curveballs come your way, you support each other through thick and thin, whether it is moving across the world for work or purchasing your children an exotic pet. Colonel John Fortnum and his wife and children represent the iconic British family in one of the United Kingdom’s far-off international posts, India. A dutiful family man, Colonel Fortnum served the British Empire until his death in Central India in 1779.
