1. Mama and Baba Junior.
This is that average middle class couple. They are not legally married but are in a come-we-stay partnership. They live in an estate like Umoja and have a kid (probably called Junior). They seem to be in love and don’t need much to be happy. On Sundays they go to church, pass by a Chicken Inn in a mall, Junior gets his face painted and enjoys himself on the bouncing castle and they head back home. This couple is content and happy with the little they have.

2. The on and off couple.
Always on the fucking fence. You even lost count of the number of times they have broken up. Haha they are always complaining to their friends how toxic their relationship is but you will always see them together. The Nganuthia in them is on the rise

3. The social media couple.
They post everything online. Every time you see them on your timeline you wanna block them. They will post all their pictures, comment lovely dovey shit on each other’s photos and act so much in love but chances are, behind closed doors, things are far from rosy. It’s always said that the first sign of a thriving relationship is when there’s no or little evidence on social media. But hey, knock yourselves out Facebook couple.

4. The interracial couple.
Skinny girl with an older or young white man and a mixed baby. She has a bald head, dreads or a long ass weave. They seem to be in love, take their summer and winter holidays abroad and live in the affluent neighborhoods of Nairobi. Gold diggers

5. The "we met so long ago" but things are moving pretty fast couple.
These are the Maribe and Jowis out there. 6 months and boom, already enganged, moving in together baby on the way. You wonder what the rush is but they always have the " If you know you know..." Answer However, these relationships hardly make it past two years. Bottom line is, you need to know what you are getting yourself into. I always say that say that if you are gonna wake up next to somebody for the rest of your life, it better be worth it. Ama?

6. The highschool sweethearts. They met way back in highschool and have been in love ever since. They have probably never had sex with anyone else but each other. It's cute. Almost too good to be true, but it is. This is the perfect couple that seems to have figured out this whole marriage thing and we all want love like theirs.

7. The shags couple (Kienyejis) They are like 22 years old and already have a kid, live in a simple room, have a small business, like running a kiosk and live in a simple but fulfilling life. They're really responsible and mature for their age

8. The huge age gap couple. When a sponyo gets hitched, basically. The dude has been married before. He's rich but now he wants to spend his money and retirement years with a ripe and young girl. They get judged a lot but they don't care , after all, it's better to cry in a Mercedes than be happy at the back of a bicycle no?
