In the small world of the Iron Throne, the daily schedule comes down to this:fratricidal power struggles, betrayals of all kinds, exploded skulls, slit throats or even incest. But sometimes, between the liters of hemoglobin and dripping sweat, love stories (Games of Thrones sauce) manage to make their way (little) way.
Fighting against waves of violence, oceans of prejudice and storms of imposed duties:these romances are so solid and passionate that we think we could take the seed! But by adapting them to our own world, a little cooler all the same.
1. Not worrying about other people's eyes. Both of you are living a beautiful love story. Only here it is:some Sunday killjoys find all the possible reasons to show you that it can't work between you! But 1/ it's none of their business, 2/ it's a bunch of jealous and frustrated people, 3/ falling in love doesn't happen every day, so it deserves to be experienced. So we don't really care and we do like Cersei and Jaime, THE couple who sends the heavyweight of the saga, the Brad-Angelina of Westeros. They are beautiful, tall, blond, of royal blood,…. Moreover, they have the same blood… since they are brothers and sister… Brothers and sisters who spend torrid nights together, even giving birth to children including the sweet and charming Joffrey. Well, here ok, it's a bit of an extreme case. And going out with your brother is not recommended!!! But when you tell yourself that your story is a bit complicated, keep in mind that Cersei and Jame are the bosses of this category.

2. Take the lead. A man you like? Take action! You can use many more or less subtle techniques or go cash, like the queen of dragons, the beautiful Daenerys who orders the hot Daario to undress and hop, hop, hop! Bold but effective.

3. Getting loose in bed. Being yourself in bed, listening to your desires, sharing the fire of passion with the other:that's what makes a relationship work, whether in the bedroom or outside. Daenerys got it right. After a somewhat rough period with her first lover (and husband), the virile Drogo, she finally decides to take matters into her own hands… Result? Steamy scenes and a crazy couple in love. Roar!

4. Share common activities. Going to the movies, concerts, jogging, or slaughtering an army (like Talisa and Robb), it brings you closer! Robb, the handsome prince of the Stark family meets the noble Talisa on the battlefield, who preferred to leave castle life to care for the wounded. And by dint of rubbing shoulders, they fall stiff (an omen? Remember S03E09…) crazy about each other. Moreover, if you are single, take advantage of your activities to try to find love. No need to run with a sword in the street shouting a battle cry:just sign up for a gym or a drawing class, for example.

5. Playing cat and mouse. Some couples do not experience the slightest disturbance in their ocean of happiness. This is not the case for John Snow "the Bastard" and Ygrid "the savage", who fight (gentle euphemism) regularly for ever more intense reunions... Whether it's during the flirtation or during the relationship itself, he is true that sometimes the exchange of small spades or loud cries offer very pleasant reconciliations (on the pillow).

6. Spice it up. Want to spice up your relationship a little? You can re-enact your "first date" in a cafe, write each other fiery letters, or even invite third parties into your bed Oberyn and Ellaria style. You are right to have fun! You never know what tomorrow will bring (Oberyn's skull can attest to that…).

7. Communicate. To move forward together on a long and beautiful road, you have to know how to overcome obstacles together. This is what Samwell and Gilly did, who had a moderately funky past life and whose daily life is not really a long calm river either (the vagaries of life, in short). To protect his beauty, he decides to leave her in a prostitute hostel (yes, that's better...) before coming to get her again, apologizing, promising never to leave her alone again. Dealing with life's problems together:that's the strength of a couple.

8. Make fun of our differences. Sometimes love surprises. Really. Everything opposes two beings and yet, the magic operates and makes the differences become points of attraction, complete the individuals and amuse them. This is what happened between Brienne and Jaime. Although they did not conclude, they could have made a great couple (and they have the same hairstyle).

9. Continuing to lead a separate life. We may be a couple, we continue to have our lives each on our side and to accomplish ourselves separately! Eddard Stark and Catelyn thus form(ai)ent a thundering team:strong together, strong separately. A busy life that nourishes their love and makes them (as a bonus) a couple that throws! Oh yeah.

10. Prepare well for the wedding. Have you already found the man of your dreams and want to get married? Congratulation ! Now, you will have to organize the festivities correctly so that this beautiful moment remains imprinted in your memories like a magnificent dream! For example, avoid inviting party spoilers and place those who do not like each other at distant tables. Robb and Talisa can attest to that… #PurpleWedding
