The best thing about television ships is that they're all unique and different. There's something for everyone and just like real life, no single relationship is exactly the same.

But sometimes you just find yourself drawn to a certain kind of story or dynamic and end up looking for another one like it. And to be honest, a lot of our favorite ships remind us of our other faves.
No matter if it's big or small, there's usually a similar trope or element that draws us in.

Whether they have a common story, vibe, or simply just remind us of one another, we created a slideshow below of 13 similar ships you should take for a sail!
1. Jake and Amy (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) & Lily and Marshall (How I Met Your Mother)
Jake and Amy and Lily and Marshall are the two purest and healthiest relationships on television. They are both 1000% committed to their significant other and wouldn't even dream of looking at anyone else. Their disagreements are resolved with respect and they both support each other unconditionally. There has never been a time where we doubted their devotion or intentions.
2. Bellamy and Clarke (The 100) & Rick and Michonne (The Walking Dead)
Neither of these post-apocalyptic pairings liked each other at first. In fact, they started off as enemies. But an antagonist relationship slowly turned to trust which later developed into a strong partnership. It took seasons of build up for Rick and Michonne to realize they were in love with their best friend. Bellamy and Clarke are still working on the realization part, but we've got our fingers crossed!
3. Angel and Buffy (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) & Stefan and Elena (The Vampire Diaries)
Angel and Stefan are two vampires who would do just about anything for the love of their life. They both have a very guilty conscience, but the person they love helps them see the good in themselves.
4. Eleanor and Chidi (The Good Place) & Jess and Nick (New Girl)
Both of these couples consist of a rather irresponsible character who uses humor to hide their emotions and eventually falls for the precious and postive cupcake. Cheleanor and Ness both have the best scenes in their series and became an official couple in the third season of their show. They're also hilarious comedian soulmates.
5. Dan and Blair (Gossip Girl) & Joey and Rachel (Friends)
Dair and Roey were supposed to be the "side" ship whose sole purpose was to serve as an obstacle for the show's "epic" couple. But they actually became even better than the main couple and turned out to be one of the healthiest relationships on their respective series.
6. Oliver and Felicity (Arrow) & Barry and Iris (The Flash)
This one is pretty obvious considering that they exist in the same universe, but there's a lot of things about them that are rather different. However, if you're looking for a superhero that has a kickass woman as his partner and his equal, you can't go wrong with either of these ships.
