Can you think of a couple that you admire? Maybe, this pair is a celebrity couple, or perhaps, it’s two people closer to home, like your parents or a friend and her husband. This couple really seems to understand each other. They work well together, but they are strong on their own, too. They might both have well-paying jobs, or they might divide the responsibilities of the household. Maybe, they seem like best friends. They might even finish each other’s sentences sometimes!

When two people work well together and are both very successful, we can call them a power couple. A good example of a power couple is Beyonce and Jay-Z. They both create music on their own and are very successful. However, sometimes, they work together, as well.
