They may be great at fixing breaks and bones but not all of the surgeons at Grey Sloan should be trusted to give out relationship advice.
For 17 seasons, the strong cast of Grey's Anatomy has helped patients through broken legs, arms, gunshots, and more. But what they've had trouble with is their own personal lives. Not one character on the show can honestly saythey have had smooth sailing in the relationship department.

While Grey's has captured the hearts of fans with marriages, one-night stands, and budding romances, they also have their fair share of divorces, affairs, and scandals. With that said, who on the show can you go to for sound relationship advice?
Meredith Grey lost the love of her life and was thrown for a loop. With one accident, everything in her life changed. Meredith went from a wife to a widow and to a single mom in just a matter of moments. She and Derek were positioned to be the perfect couple on Grey's Anatomy and then Derek was gone.
What Meredith is saying here is that if you love someone, tell them. There is no such thing as forever in this life. One day they are here and the next, they are gone.
Owen is that character that fans want to root for but he just makes it hard sometimes to do that. His heart could be in the right place but his emotions are scattered all over Seattle. With Cristina, it appeared they were the perfect fit until Owen wanted to create a family. It was the same with Owen and Amelia.
What Owen is saying here is that he's in love and that she's the love of his life. Not bad advice but isn't this recycled, especially for Owen? He still hasn't found that true love but telling every woman that is not the way to go.
As awful as Jackson Avery has been in relationships, it's not to say that he hasn't been in love. Despite his issues with April Kepner and others, Jackson has put his heart on the line a few times for love. His relationship with April is still viewed as one of the best ever on the show but he has other skeletons in his closet.

What Jackson is saying here is that despite the flaws in a person, he still loves them. This is what love is all about. It's more than just loving the good in a person, one always must take them with their flaws.
Cristina Yang, during her time on Grey's Anatomy,was all business. Yes, she did have time for some extracurricular activity but still fell short in that department with two failed marriages. She and Preston Burke appeared to be soulmates but careers got in the way. Still, she was Meredith's person and what was supposed to be solid advice, just came out wrong.
What Yang is saying here is that you should shine no matter who your partner is. Well, in a union, it should be both of you. Cristina's point of view is more individual-based than what a true partnership should be like. Bad advice.
In his early stages before Jo Wilson, Alex Karev was still wandering around the hospital and in his personal life searching for meaning. While he and Izzie Stevens didn't work out on their first try, Karev meant his words.
What Karev is saying here is that he now has more than himself to worry about. He's was entering an equal partnership, where he agreed to care and protect someone other than himself. For a character like Karev, this was a huge step as his background was a bit shaky in regards to his upbringing.
Callie Torres is missed. Her character development over the seasons was great to watch from living in the basement of the hospital to becoming a top surgeon, a mother, and then a wife. But her skeletons were just too much to bear by the end. She made her fair share of mistakes relationship-wise but in the end, she made the right decision.

What Callie is saying here is that she has no time for games. If you aren't ready to be with that person, then do not waste their time chasing them. For viewers, this may hold true, but coming from Callie it was hard to swallow with all the games she played.
Talk about a character who got the wrong end of the stick in the romance department. Stephanie Edwards finally got her chance with Jackson Avery and he disrespected her in one of the worst ways imaginable. Was she perfect? No.
What Edwards is saying here is that the person you are involved with must have their baggage in check. Life is too short to bring that and then unload it on a person who does not deserve it. She has lived it and speaks from the heart.
Arizona Robbins earned her stripes on the show for her grit, her smile, pain, and perseverance. However, Arizona was not perfect. Her relationship with Callie was filled with love but also anger. Once she lost her leg, it took Arizona a while to get back to the beautiful soul fans fell in love with.
What Arizona is saying here is that you should fight for what you want, even if you're the one making the mistakes. Considering she was the one who cheated on Callie, this is another hard pill to swallow.
Mark Sloan entered Grey's Anatomy as the new eye candy for fans and the other female surgeons at the hospital. Once the best friend of Derek Shepherd, their relationship went sour once Sloan slept with Derek's wife. There were rough times for him until he met the woman of his dreams in Lexie Grey.
What Sloan is saying here is to go for what your heart wants. With Lexie, he knew it was wrong but he nor she didn't care. They were in love. Mark made his mistakes, but his love for Lexie was real.
Richard Webber is a master when it comes to teaching. He's a great leader but his personal life is not one that anyone should want to follow. Webber has cheated on his wife, had a child come out of that affair, and almost let another marriage slip away.
What Webber is saying here is that it's okay to be scared to lose things that you care deeply for. Great advice but coming from a man who still has not found a way to grow closer to his daughter and cheats on his wife, this is not the best advice.
