Who said that couples made up of people of different heights are not happy? In particular, who said that men in a couple should generally be taller than women?

Of course, maybe it is a common situation in a collective and somewhat stereotyped representation, yet, there actually are many couples in which the woman is taller than the man.

In fact, there are now many couples who immortalize themselves in photos showing differences in stature in favor of wives and girlfriends and it is becoming an increasingly common trend.

Especially after Lizz Adams posted a photo of herself on Twitter in which she says she is proud to have been happily married for eight years to her husband, that she calls her "king", and who is just 5'5" tall (1,65 cm).

And due to that image, a long sequence of photographic responses have been unleashed from around the world—to help completely crush this stereotype once and for!

In fact, there are many women - wives and girlfriends - who want to share their happy life stories with the world, to demonstrate that despite their difference in height, if there is love, nothing else matters very much at all ...
