* {{Ephebophile}}: The 49-year old "hero" of one of the subplots of ''Family Album'' is this, as he falls in love with a '''''15-year-old''''' girl (his daughter's best friend) and marries her as soon as she turns 18, though the relationship is consummated while she's still underage. In what is probably her worst example of ''PCM'', it's presented as a grand romance, with many of the excuses disturbingly used by RealLife predators and their victims--"I'm/She's very mature for her age", "She looks much older than she is", etc., and her older brother and parents being painted as the villains for their vehement objections. The book ends with them still together, the HappilyMarried parents of five.
** Technically, so is the "hero" of ''A Perfect Stranger'', who at '''''62''''', falls in love with and marries his friend's '''''18-year-old''''' daughter. (She's of legal age, but this disorder indicates an attraction to those 15-19 years old).

* SexualKarma: Ad nauseum. The heroes and heroines always have a terrific sex life, with it always being better than it was before. Even if it was ''already'' good before--the protagonists of ''Daddy'' and ''Dating Game'' are floored at how spectacular sex with their respective new paramours is--"Daddy" outright says that he thought his and his ex-wife's love life was "perfect".

* GriefInducedSplit: The beginning of "The Ranch" finds one of the female protagonists in a miserable marriage following the suicide of their son a year earlier. Unusually, after she decides to leave him following a visit to the ranch in question, her absence spurs him to finally snap out of his grief and make strides to repair their relationship.
Added DiffLines:
* SoHappyTogether: Much like the "to live" post, if a book starts with an endless description of how perfect someone's marriage/relationship is, all hell is bound to break loose any minute--death, infidelity, illness, etc.
