If there is one thing that is absolutely undeniable about President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle is their unwavering, undeniable, inspirational love for one another for over 25+ years! And quite frankly, we can't get enough!

Having first met in 1989 when the two were one of the few Blacks at Chicago law firm Sidley Austin, the couple (whose first date was a trip to an art institute, followed by a movie date to see Do the Right Thing, and a first kiss outside of an ice cream parlor), instantly fell for each other and it was love at first 'Spike!'

They would later get married in 1992, and give birth to their daughters Malia Ann (18) and Natasha (15) in the years to follow. And, as we all know, after successfully creating a family of their own, they would later become the face of a nation, serving as the first Black, first family of our nation between 2008 to now!

The last 8 years have been a whirlwind for the Obamas, but in between their hectic schedules, the couple still found time to inspire us with their love. Whether it's a little PDA between PSAs, or a full-own interview with the likes of Barbara Walters or Vogue, the Obamas' "love goals" is everything!

Check out some loving quotes from favorite love birds through the years, and feel free to fall in love with them all over again!

5. If you have a strong foundation, it will be hard for a job or change in social status to ruin the relationship.

"Our life before moving to Washington was filled with simple joys. Saturdays at soccer games, Sundays at grandma's house and a date night for Barack and me was either dinner or a movie, because as an exhausted mom, I couldn't stay awake for both. And the truth is, I loved the life we had built for our girls and I deeply loved the man I had built that life with and I didn't want that to change if he became president. I loved Barack just the way he was.

You see, even though back then Barack was a senator and a presidential candidate, to me, he was still the guy who'd picked me up for our dates in a car that was so rusted out, I could actually see the pavement going by in a hole in the passenger side door. He was the guy whose proudest possession was a coffee table he'd found in a dumpster, and whose only pair of decent shoes was half a size too small.

"So when people ask me whether being in the White House has changed my husband, I can honestly say that when it comes to his character, and his convictions, and his heart, Barack Obama is still the same man I fell in love with all those years ago." -- (Michelle Obama's Democratic Nation Convention speech, September 2012)
