Arthur and Mera. Oliver and Dinah, maybe? Didn't read much of GA stuff.

What counts as "healthy"?

Gomez and Morticia, pretty much the ideal healthy romantic relationship. Loving each other's strangeness and faults as much as each other's fine qualities.

Thanks reddit.
Healthy as in, they have some problems, but are for the most part happy, mutually supportive, and monogamous for a long period of time.

Empowered wasn't bad in this area. They were both kind of idiots, but the relationship was healthy.

Joker and Harley

That comic looks like borderline porn. Is it any good?

Yeah, it's silly lightweight stuff that ostensibly mocks hypersexualized female characters in comics...with an endless parade of hypersexual depcitions of its main character. You could say it has its cheesecake and eats it too.

That sounds like something I could be into...sweet. Got another item for the backlog

There are none. You can't sell stories of people in happy, loving relationships. People are fucked up, and want to see other fucked up people go through fucked up things to feel better or related. I may be jaded, but I root for people who are in good, loving relationships, fighting the good fight.

Apollo and Midnighter were, until they decided to justify their break up saying that the couple wasn't healthy.

Th-thanks, Marvel.

I'm convinced that most writers in both Hollywood and in comics are miserable, lonely people who have no idea what it's like to be in a fun, healthy, and loving relationship, and that is why they're seemingly incapable of writing one.
Agreed :(

Gomez and Morticia are a great romantic couple though.

bout it.

Arthur Mera
Luke Jessica

Who is the lesbian in the jumpsuit watching them?

Dear DC:

Go fuck yourselves.

Love, the Dibnys.

Another day at work is nearly over,
You must've seen the whole thing on T.V.
Seventeen more city blocks and I can almost smell you
Waiting at the windowsill for me.
It's our forty-first anniversary,
But we don't look a day over twenty-three.
Not in this life.
Not in this universe.

And we were still in high school when I met you,
If you believe the continuity.
I rescued you from robots and untied you from the tracks,
And you pretended not to know that it was me.
We didn't even kiss until issue twenty-six,
And this world still feels like 1963.
I love this life.
I love this universe.

And you'll keep my identity a secret,
And you will know the touch beneath my glove,
And I may go out every night and risk my life for strangers,
But you're the only girl I'll ever love.
And Gwen Stacy isn't dead, she's only sleeping,
And Elektra isn't evil or insane,
And those bastards in the Pentagon can't really kill Sue Dibny,
No more than they could kill off Lois Lane.
And I swear to god there'll be hell to pay,
If anybody tries to take you away.

Forget this life.
Forget this universe.
You're everything I need.
You are my life.
You are my universe.
And they'll have to go through me.

Hell, Animal Man's family died because the writer's cat died.

Remember this?

Hey, they're back together now. And alive.

She's a big girl.

for everyone

>healthy
Hilarious.

Wasn't this the time they got mind-controlled and forced to make a porno? I don't think that rape counts as cheating.

>Who is the lesbian in the jumpsuit watching them?

I'm thinking Alicia Masters, but she isn't exactly watching them.

>Gomez and Morticia are a great romantic couple though.

They are probably the best Sup Forums related couple there is.

Really, the way how the entire Addams Family is devoted to and supportive of each other, it should be exemplary.

I think that was the point of the whole thing, at least with the TV series and movies. They were weird, but happy, even if the neighbors didn't approve.

This.

There was a bit of a bizarro logic to it in some versions though. Gomez worrying about the kids being so well adjusted.

Speaking of which, the Bizarros have a pretty good marriage going.

RIP

...

As far as comics go, that's really all you can hope for.

Is one of them being a bad parent a deal breaker?

Nah. Their relatiomship with each other is great, even if Aangs a shitty dad.

>Oliver and Dinah, maybe? Didn't read much of GA stuff.
nah, they weren't really healthy

Ollie tends towards self destructiveness and it drags down the people around him. also he cheated on her at least once

Grace and Thunder.
Moondragon and Phyla (before DnA made Phyla go full retard)

Hazmat and Mettle

...yes I'm still bitter

Really, really good until Barry made them stop existing.

Carol Danvers.

The pain never goes away

I'm assuming they don't even exist in current DC continuity, which is actually fine with me as eventually some hack writer would have torn them apart for no other reason than he could.

Well since somebody on Sup Forums mentions it at least once a week in either a Superdickery or Bryne hate threads its hard to forget about...
