underliving 

A substandard way of living in which the individual may be unaware or is fooling himself into believing that he or she is living at the highest or correct level.
Underliving is usually a consequence of factors such as ignorance, mental blocks, emotional disturbances, trauma, a lack of imagination, the habit of underliving, having grown-up in a family and/or neighborhood where most people underlived, the lack of good examples and role models, and other foolish reasons such as fear of success.

Because different people have different goals and standards, what one individual may consider to be underliving, another individual may consider to be living correctly, thus well.

Overall, compared to Americans and people in other highly (materially) highly developed nations, approximately 90% of the people who live in developing nations can be said to be underliving. Some Americans also underlive.

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
