Sometimes, true love doesn’t declare itself in great tests of romance, expensive gifts, and overflowing bouquets of roses. Many times, the simple fact of being together is enough to make your partner happy.

These small details inspired artist Philippa Rice to create a series of illustrations about the simple and beautiful things in everyday life. The book where she compiles these illustrations is entitled Sooppy: A Love Story, and it is between these pages that she shares a little of the story with her boyfriend (yes, from real life), showing the couple’s routine.

From supermarket shopping to silly arguments, or even watching TV without the slightest worn, the book captures the experience of sharing a life together and celebrates the beauty of respect between couples.

By appreciating the images below, you will realize that what really sustains a relationship are these everyday actions that make all the difference, turning out to be much more important than those grand gestures or any crazy love.

Accidentally hugging in the dream.

A quiet morning in the kitchen.

Those long conversations about everything and nothing in bed.

And being in the same place without necessarily doing things together.

– “I can come and read here”

“Sure!”

Make cooking fun out of it.

And face the dilemma of what to cook for dinner.

“I want to order pizza for dinner, but we should cook. I don’t know.”

“Shall we flip a coin?”

“I’m going to release a DVD. Back we cook and back cover pizza”

“What if we order pizza anyway?”

Ask complicated questions.

“I want to ask you something. This shirt of yours is ugly and it doesn’t fit you anymore.”

“Can I turn it into my pajamas?”

Even shopping can be fun.

And put anything aside for a hug.

And about those little things.

“We have a letter for both of us.”

“What is it?”

– “Our first gas bill”

Know how to apologize.

And share a reading moment together in bed after a busy day.

And worry about EVERYTHING that has to do with the other person.

“What’s the problem?”

– “I forgot to drink the tea”

And even to make the most insignificant thing possible.

Know the perfect snuggle positions.

And who has never put together a piece of furniture as if they were playing with LEGO?

And have small discussions.

– “You’re on my side of the bed”

– “I have to sleep on this side”

– “No, it’s my turn”

– “Good night”

Love is exploring new places, even if it’s a neighborhood park.

And sleep on the lap of the other.

Spend a moment at your favorite restaurant and not think about anything else.

Walk together.

And knowing that at the end of the day everything will be fine.
