This sounds like it should be a Valentine's Day post, but it's not. The ninth Outlander book is out and as usual, Jamie and Claire are stealing the first few chapters, with a relationship that ages like fine wine (or Scottish ale.) I just forget how much I love their chemistry, communication, stubbornness, hard work, and their overall relationship each time I reread the books. I wondered who is like them, or comparable, other than Morticia and Gomez from the two Addams Family movies.

So, what fictional characters in books that you've read have displayed your version of #couplegoals?

Beren and Luthien from "Beren and Luthien" by J.R.R.Tolkien. Couple that fight together stay forever. Their love is so strong and beatifuly written that I can't even be envious of it.

Darcy and Elizabeth -- *after* Darcy's redemption arc. I like a couple who overcome their own flaws.

Anne Elliot and Captain Frederick Wentworth from Persuasion by Jane Austen. Their agitated waiting from afar is just *magic*.
