The former First Lady of the United States is inspo on just about every level. But, as she recently told Oprah Winfrey, she—like everyone else—has to work for her #RelationshipGoals marriage and tight-knit squad. It all started when she first met Barack Obama...

OPRAH WINFREY: You write, about meeting him: “I’d constructed my existence carefully, tucking and folding every loose and disorderly bit of it, as if building some tight and airless piece of origami... He was like a wind that threatened to unsettle everything”. At first you didn’t like being unsettled...
MICHELLE OBAMA: Oh God, no.
OW: This I love so much—a moment that cracks me up: “I woke one night to find him staring at the ceiling, his profile lit by the glow of streetlights outside. He looked vaguely troubled, as if he were pondering something deeply personal. Was it our relationship? The loss of his father? ‘Hey, what are you thinking about over there?’ I whispered. He turned to look at me, his smile a little sheepish. ‘Oh’, he said, ‘I was just thinking about income inequality’.”
MO: That’s my honey.
OW: You really let us into the relationship. I mean, down to the proposal and everything. You also write about some major differences between the two of you in the early years of your marriage. You say: “I understood it was nothing but good intentions that would lead him to say, ‘I’m on my way!’ Or, ‘Almost home!’”
