Smile-making images that show what love really looks like.

When I pass a couple who look live they’ve been together forever in the street, I can’t help but stop, look – and smile.

In a world of 48-hour marriages (we’re looking at you, Britney Spears), small moments like these reveal how important everlasting love is.

It’s special – and something we should celebrate more.

These images sum up those feelings of enduring, heartwarming intimacy perfectly.

Sometimes, older couples show a ripping sense of humour – exhibit A below.

While we're pretty sure this photo was staged, it's still a ripper.

The couple above have been together 70 years - and their grandson uploaded the image to sharing thread Reddit because he thought the world needed to see some real love.

"He went through the brutal Mao suppression, he survived the Japanese occupation. Survived the bombing of the British army in World War 2. Raised 5 children in full discrimination against communist Chinese. Even when he is sick, he refused hospital treatment because nobody will take care of my ill grandmother."

Most of these images have no backstory, but they capture love in it's pure, everyday form.

Take a look:

Riding a skateboard in the rain. Now that's what we call love.

(We know you all love it - looks like this couple are on to colouring in too.) 

Perfection.

Someone captured this in a shopping centre. Magical.

They've still got it. A sense of humour, we mean. Not a fashion sense!

Beautiful.

Hilarious.

Just love.

In it's simplest and most beautiful form.

‘Dear Person I Love, I promise to do these things more …’

My husband and I love each other. We just can’t share a bed.
