The Ones Who Live: Rick and Michonne's love might not be passionate, but it's true love

Relationships are more than just romantic chemistry; some of the best relationships are based on mutual respect that eventually becomes feelings of love and affection, which is the case with Rick and Michonne.

It's been said that these characters just don't have enough romantic chemistry. But I beg to differ. While these two characters didn't meet with a "love at first sight" type of love, theirs is built on a friendship of survival that leads to mutual respect and admiration that eventually leads to true love.

Look at Michonne's eyes in the teasers when she talks about being parted from her love for so long. Those are tears of a heart breaking at being parted from its true match. Their love grew over time, and their mutual love for Carl and Judith also brought them together.

It is amazing in this day that someone can question the validity of the love between two people that has grown during a time of uncertainty. They must wake each day to fight for their lives and those of the people they love.

Add to that, each love story is different. Just because someone's love story isn't a hot passionate affair, doesn't mean the love isn't built on a solid foundation.
