You can choose three and three only.

One - Steve Martin and Diane Keaton in Father Of The Bride. That's my marriage goal. Warm, loving and stable

Two - Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail. They were just so cute together

Three - Rocky and Adrian 🥊❤️

Love Hal and Lois in Malcom in the middle.

I love Dawn and Tim from the office UK (although you didn’t see much of the relationship)

I think marge from the simpsons is an idiot to stay.

I think Monica from friends is a bit controlling (love chandler though).

And felt Ross and Rachel’s relationship was very fake (she only gets with him when he’s with someone else/she’s bored).

I’m struggling to think of any.

TV:

Dempsey & Makepeace
Remington Steele & Laura
Maddie & David (moonlighting)

Big screen:

Big Easy (Ellen + Dennis)
Thomas Crown Affair (Renee + Pierce)
Out of sight (JLo + George)

Idling down this thread purely to see if anyone had already said “Tom!” and Catherine from The Thomas Crown Affair, aka the most romantic film ever made.

They’re just so into it, not because they want to get married and have babies together, purely because they find each other so much damn FUN!
