But they could just as easily represent two people who are comfortable enough with each other not to constantly seek physical contact.
Distance does not automatically equal emotional separation.
Likewise, closeness does not automatically equal happiness.
Real relationships cannot be measured that simply.
The Third Couple: The Red Umbrella
The third couple is beneath a red umbrella.
Red is one of the strongest colors in the illustration.
It is commonly associated with passion, love, energy, excitement, and intensity.
Because of those associations, some viewers may immediately interpret the red couple as the most romantic.
The man’s red clothing and the woman’s pinkish-red dress create a strong visual connection.
Perhaps the color makes the pair appear more energetic than the others.
Or perhaps you simply associate red with love.
But again, the color cannot tell us whether the couple is actually happy.
A relationship can contain passion without emotional stability.
It can also contain deep love without dramatic displays of affection.
