Over the course of 51 minutes he listed the hard-fought victories that will define his legacy (the Affordable Care Act, the Paris Climate Accord, and marriage equality just to name a few ), and used the country\u2019s founding ideals to call for unity in this terrifying moment of discord.<\/p>\n<p>He stood stoic, conceding persistent standing ovations and chants of \u201cFour more years!\u201d, looking out over his sea of supporters with that expertly-honed patient impatience, no doubt bracing himself against the weight of the moment.

If only for a minute, in acknowledging the only person who truly knows what this moment means to him, the one who has sacrificed more than he has to reach it, he succumbed.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Once we stop worrying that a relationship isn\u2019t perfect, we can open ourselves up to the possibility that with hard work, dedication, and mutual respect we just might make love work.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Over the past eight years the Obama\u2019s have taught a master class in love. The two Harvard-educated lawyers have worked as a team and comported themselves with unthinkable grace under the ever-critical magnifying glass of a nation. Even their date nights had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2009\/11\/01\/magazine\/01Obama-t.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">political consequences<\/a>. How in the world did they do it? Being on the outside, we can only speculate. But if that glistening in the corner of the President\u2019s eye was any indicator, we could all serve to learn something from their example.<\/p>\n<h2>Be equals<\/h2>\n<p>Despite their titles, and the traditional roles they connote, Michelle and Barack appear in public like two pillars. Their conduct in interviews, the President\u2019s frequent reverent mentions of Michelle, and Michelle\u2019s recent powerful and viral addresses to the nation solidify them as the power couple of our time. (Sorry, Kimye). Michelle was Barack\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oprah.com\/world\/Barack-and-Michelle-Obamas-First-Date-Famous-Firsts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">mentor back at their Chicago law firm<\/a>, and he has joked that his aides value her opinion higher than his. (We can believe it.) The Obama\u2019s have shown us that the strongest partnership is one where two people walk together, meeting whatever comes at them side-by-side.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/2017\/01\/obamas1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-25791\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/2017\/01\/obamas1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"obamas1\" width=\"665\" height=\"444\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Be real<\/h2>\n<p>On the subject of marriage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/2016\/09\/10\/barack-and-michelle-obamas-essence-photoshoot-lights-up-social-m\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michelle has said<\/a>, \u201cMarriage is hard work\u2026 even if you\u2019re married to your soulmate.\u201d The First Couple speaks candidly about the ups and downs inherent to the pressures of occupying the White House. Doing so lifts them above the scrutiny and heresy, and colors their displays of affection all the more authentic. No sugar-coating. No overly gushy Facebook posts. Basically, no bullshit. We should all be more honest about the work it takes to keep a relationship intact. Not only is it refreshing, it may even save a marriage. Once we stop worrying that a relationship isn\u2019t perfect, we can open ourselves up to the possibility that with hard work, dedication, and mutual respect we just might make love work.<\/p>\n<h2>Make time to be together<\/h2>\n<p>Barack and Michelle ate breakfast, exercised, and had family dinner together almost every day throughout their tenure. Establishing daily rituals together, especially if you\u2019re a busy couple, is key to staying on the same page and feeling connected amid the storm of life happening around you. If the First Couple of the United States can carve out alone time, so can all of us.<\/p>\n<h2>Have separate lives, but stay involved<\/h2>\n<p>The Obama\u2019s certainly have had separate duties throughout their time in the White House. President Obama focused on, you know, running the country, and Michelle on her own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theedadvocate.org\/7-education-initiatives-led-by-michelle-obama\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">education initiatives<\/a> and guiding their daughters through their entirely extraordinary teenage years riddled with, no doubt, very ordinary teenage problems. However, they still remained involved, discussing their responsibilities as partners who value one another\u2019s input. Being one another\u2019s first line of support makes all the difference. A couple together, with two minds and four sympathetic shoulders, can divide, conquer, and stay sane all the while.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/2017\/01\/obamas3.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25811\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/2017\/01\/obamas3.jpg\" alt=\"obamas3\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Show your love<\/h2>\n<p>The Obama\u2019s love is powerful.
