* To show a contrast between the relationship of Ross and Rachel with Chandler and Monica, when the latter couple encounter their first obstacle as a married couple (Chandler kissed another woman while Monica opened all the wedding gifts without him), instead of arguing who is in the right like Ross and Rachel to the point of destroying their relationship, Chandler and Monica immediately agree to call it even and put this issue behind them to ensure their marriage has a good start.
