While Chandler's growth arc in the latter seasons is deservedly celebrated, I feel like Monica's contribution to their relationship gets drowned out in the narrative of her being "controlling" and "bossy." Wanted to show some love for her character by sharing moments where she was incredibly sweet, selfless, and patient with him.

She worked with him through his deep-seated issues with commitment, staying patient while he learned that "forever" with her wasn't something to run away from.


She literally put a whole turkey on her head and danced just to make him laugh and cheer him up.


She gave up her dream wedding dress so that they could book his favorite band for the wedding.


She supported Chandler when he quit a well-paying corporate job without a plan, becoming the safety net while he found his true passion.


When he was doubting if he’d be a bad father because of his own childhood, she was the first person to tell him he’d be a great one.


Chandler is a top-tier husband, but he got the opportunity to grow because Monica looked at a guy who used humor as a defense mechanism and saw a partner worth the investment. 

Chandler is a great husband, but Monica is underappreciated for seeing the potential in him before he even saw it himself
