The former POTUS and FLOTUS have left the Oval Office, but thanks to their strong and supportive relationship, it's safe to say they'll remain in our hearts forever. The pair has made their mark on both history and marriage, showing Americans everywhere that in both good times (have you seen the fun these two have?) and bad (no White House run is an easy one), love can always prevail. In honor of their endless #couplegoals contributions, we rounded up their cutest, most enviable moments to date.Â

Appreciation
"I'm lucky to have lived my life surrounded by such remarkable women,"Â wrote Barack in this endearing 2016 split-shot of him and his mom, and him with his family. "To whomever that person is in your life, be sure to say thanks. Say I love you. And let's make sure we show that gratitude and appreciation throughout the year.
