These couples don't only inspire us that forever exists but they're living proof that true love endures.

Theirs is a romantic love story that could easily pass for a movie script.

Though they have been married for 12 years, it wasn’t always smooth sailing for the couple.

In 2002, Andrea was diagnosed with liver failure and Pierre donated part of his liver to her.

"Just seeing a smile on Andrea’s face, just knowing she’s alright and safe makes me very happy”, Pierre told GoodyFeed.

Their secret? Spontaneity because "life is short and anything can happen tomorrow”
