  (#1) They Poke Fun At Each Other On Social Media

  Lively and Reynolds regularly poke fun at one another online. Lively once tweeted her man a birthday wish featuring a photo of him and Ryan Gosling - where Reynolds was almost entirely cropped out. The tweet was retaliation to Reynolds's post on Lively's 30th birthday. He shared a similar message and cropped her from a picture of the couple - leaving himself front and center. 

  Lively and Reynolds regularly use the internet to get a laugh out of each other, to the benefit of their fans.

  (#2) They Work Hard At Finding Special Gifts For Each Other

  One of the most important aspects of any healthy relationship is knowing what makes the other person happy. For some, it's picking up socks or making the bed; for others, it's giving a thoughtful gift. In Lively and Reynolds's case, it's the latter, and they've proven they know how to make each other smile. 

  Lively told Vogue about a gift she gave her husband: a collection of short stories written by their loved ones. Reynolds, in turn, once tracked down Lively's favorite teacher and asked him to record a special message just for her.

  There was even an instance when Reynolds snuck in special apple pie from his home country of Canada for his wife.

  (#3) They're Proud, Loving Parents

  As of 2019, Lively and Reynolds have two children. Their first daughter, James, was born in December 2014; their second, Ines, was born in September 2016. When Reynolds got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, his whole family joined him.

  Reynolds is constantly complimenting his partner's parenting skills. He commented on how much he values his wife in an interview on The Late Show with David Letterman:

  I'm just a diaper-changing facility hooked up to a life-support system, but my wife, she's breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She's a human Denny's all day long... and it never ends for her. She's the most beautiful Denny's you've ever seen though, I guarantee it.

  (#4) They Have A Sense Of Humor When It Comes To Rumors And Gossip

  As any couple in Hollywood will tell you, rumors regarding breakups, cheating, or other troubles continuously circulate. Lively and Reynolds's relationship is no different, as sites regularly comment and speculate on the duo's status. Most pairs ignore these comments, but Lively and Reynolds have a little fun with them.

  In 2018, when one publication wrote the couple was struggling to find quality time to spend with one another, Reynolds tweeted, "I wish. I could use a little 'me time.'"
• 

  (#5) They Don't Work At The Same Time So They Can Be Closer As A Family

  Reynolds and Lively each have active film careers. But despite both being in high demand by studios, they don't work on projects at the same time. Instead, they prefer to trade off. When Reynolds is busy, Lively spends time with him and the kids. When Lively is working, Reynolds reciprocates.

  Lively explained the compromise to People, noting how it benefits the whole family:

  My husband and I don't work at the same time, so we all go together as a family. If we're away as a family, it's never more than for a day. We stay together.
• 

  (#6) They're Friends First

  Many successful partners attribute their long-term happiness to the friendship that exists between them. In Reynolds and Lively's case, the pair were friends before they ever got romantically involved - and that friendship continues in their marriage.

  In an interview with ET, Lively explained how the friendship informs their relationship:

  In other relationships, if something came up, I would call my girlfriends or my sister, and say, "Hey, this is what he did - what should I do?" Where with [Reynolds], we were friends for two years before we were ever dating.

  And I treat him like my girlfriend. I’m like, "Hey, this happened. It upset me. This is how I feel. What do I do?" And he does the same for me. He treats me like his best buddy.

  (#7) They Always Support Each Other On The Red Carpet

  Walking the red carpet at an event is an integral part of the promotion process for celebrities. When Lively and Reynolds appear together, they openly support one another. Lively, for instance, has been known to incorporate her husband's projects into her latest red carpet looks. 

  When Lively walked the red carpet to promote A Simple Favor in 2018, Reynolds guided all the attention he could to his wife. Lively does the same by returning the attention to her husband when he's promoting a release.

  Since they're both consistently in the spotlight, they're very intentional about not overshadowing each other. 
• 

  (#8) They Value Their Bonds With Their Extended Families

  Reynolds's father, James C. Reynolds, passed following a long-term fight with Parkinson's in 2015. Reynolds had a strained relationship with his father for years and was on the fence about patching things up - until his wife came along.

  Reynolds spoke with fashion site Mr. Porter about his relationship with his father:

  My dad was a tough guy. This is not meant to be some sob story - everyone carries their own bag of rocks around, and I am no different in that regard - but growing up in my house, it was never relaxing or easy.

  In an interview with People, Reynolds spoke further about his complicated relationship with his father, and how Lively helped him mend that fence. He was happy to note that his daughter, James, was named after her grandfather, and said, "He got to see her, which makes me happy."
• 

  (#9) They Constantly Compliment One Another

  Reynolds and Lively are always quick to compliment one another. In an interview with People, Reynolds said, "I have such a respect for those who have a true architectural-design talent, and my wife has that superpower."

  Lively returned the sentiment, telling Lucky magazine, "I'm very lucky to be with someone who has better taste than me. We influence each other in different ways."
• 

  (#10) They Motivate One Another

  Some actors may make it look easy, but working in Hollywood certainly isn't, even for a successful couple like Lively and Reynolds. And when both people in a relationship are busy, having someone who supports and motivates you is an incredibly helpful perk. 

  On Good Morning America, Lively explained the pros and cons of them both being actors:

  It's nice to have somebody who understands what you're doing. Especially because our job is so weird - you have to be married to other people, it's all so strange. It's never normal, even when we're both doing it.
• 

  (#11) They Keep In Frequent Communication With One Another

  For a couple who spends their time all over the world working on different projects, maintaining healthy communication can be difficult. Reynolds and Lively, however, know how important it is to keep in touch. 

  They are comfortable enough to talk about anything and everything, and a lot of that has to do with their amazing friendship.
• 

  (#12) They Do Everything Together

  This Hollywood power couple is always by each other's side. They attend events together and even follow each other around the world for various shoots. 

  Due to their healthy relationship, Lively told ET she is defensive about what people perceive as the "perfect" life:

  There's never a time when I'm like, "I don't really love [Reynolds]." Still, in a sound bite? It can be eye-roll-y. I have to learn to stop being defensive.

  Regardless of their public image, this couple certainly knows how to stay together. 
• 

  (#13) They Take On Charitable Initiatives Together

  By March 2020, COVID-19 widely impacted the US, and some celebrities took the opportunity to provide support for older adults and low-income families who do not have the means to protect themselves from becoming sick. Reynolds and Lively donated $1 million to split between Feeding America and Food Banks Canada, and took to Instagram to ask everyone else to wash their hands and "take care of [their] bodies and hearts." 

  Lively added, "Now can someone please tell Ryan that 'social distancing' from his mother in law is not a thing."
