In order to illustrate a range of different relationships, we have selected several famous couples for you and placed two writing instruments by their side, summing up their characteristics in a nutshell.
Elisabeth & Charles
A parent-child relationship is the social and emotional bond between a parent and their child. When the son is all grown up, the term Mother-Son relationship is most frequently used in this context. If the mother is also a queen, a Queen-Prince relationship exists – something that also holds increased potential for conflict. | Pen couple: Prodir DS1 and DS5
John & Yoko
A romantic relationship is an intimate relationship between two or more people which starts with mutual acceptance and erotic attraction. Excluding platonic love, a romantic relationship is usually a sexual relationship, the like of which has been popularly portrayed in the media since the 1960s. | Pen couple: Prodir DS9 and DS7
Bunny & Hugh
