After Douglas broke up with his girlfriend, she never told him she was pregnant and had their son until after she died and gave up custody. Douglas' son had no hard feelings and still liked his dad especially because he saved his mom from a loveless marriage.

* The ''20/20'' oneshot of ''ComicBook/JemAndTheHolograms'' shows Jerrica and Rio have settled down in the 20 years after the events of the original series.

!!DC universe
* The poor doomed Waynes, parents of Franchise/{{Batman}} and the beloved and equally-doomed Flying Graysons.
* Franchise/{{Superman}}:
** Pre-Crisis the Earth-Two versions of Franchise/{{Superman}} (Kal-L) and ComicBook/LoisLane were happily married for decades, and after ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' they continued to be this while living inside a pocket dimension along with Alexander Luthor Jr. and Superboy-Prime. In fact, the whole reason Kal-L tried to help Alex and Prime bring back Earth-Two at the expense of the Post-Crisis DCU in ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'' was because he was led to believe doing so [[spoiler: would save his Lois from dying. She dies anyway, but before she does she tells Kal-L how happy he made her and how grateful she was for these extra years. And at the end, after Kal-L succumbs to his injuries from a psychotic Prime, it's implied he's now reunited with Lois in the afterlife.]]
** Post-Crisis Franchise/{{Superman}} and ComicBook/LoisLane starting from 1996. Initially, their marriage was undone when ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'' rebooted the DC Universe and erased them from continuity. ''ComicBook/{{Convergence}}'' brought these versions of Lois and Clark back by revealing they were trapped in one of the many cities Brainiac saved from erasure. When ''Convergence'' ended, the Kents [[spoiler: and their new son]] are now living in the current DCU and have been for nine years, as seen in ''ComicBook/SupermanLoisAndClark'' and ''Comicbook/SupermanRebirth''.
** Both sets of Superman's parents. His birth parents - Jor-El and Lara - were very close. In some continuities, Lara refused to leave Krypton because she would have to leave her husband behind. His foster parents Jonathan and Martha Kent are a very loving, very close-knit couple who have been married for decades.
* Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}:
** Kara's birth parents - Zor-El and Alura - love each other dearly. In the Post-Crisis universe, Alura was completely shattered when her husband died.
** Her foster parents (Fred and Edna Danvers in the Pre-Crisis universe; Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers in the Post-Flashpoint 'verse) are also very close-knit. Jeremiah and Eliza have been married for years and they think nothing of flirting to their boss's face while they are working.
** In the ''Comicbook/ManyHappyReturns'' storyline, New Earth Linda Danvers - a Supergirl who was human and unrelated to Clark Kent - spent five years married to Earth-One Superman after switching places with his cousin Kara.
* ''ComicBook/{{Wonder Woman|1942}}'': On [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Earth-Two]] [[Franchise/WonderWoman Diana]] and ComicBook/SteveTrevor had a loving marriage not only for a human lifetime but beyond after being brought to Mount Olympus. Together they had a daughter Lyta/the Fury who continued the family's heroic traditions. They were also happily married on Earth-One, but ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' happened shortly after their marriage.
* ''ComicBook/CaptainAtom'': Nathaniel Adam was happily married to Angela Adam until the experiment that either blasted him eighteen years into the future and left everyone thinking he had died, or until he died for eighteen years and then came back to life (what really happened is open to interpretation). She had remarried a man he hated and then died of cancer in the meantime, and his learning to reconcile with her memory is a major part of his character arc over the course of the series.
* Franchise/TheFlash:
** There seems to be a tradition of this in the Flash legacy; see Wally West and Linda Park, and Jay and Joan Garrick, who have possibly the longest-standing marriage in the DCU.
** In Rebirth, Barry and Iris began dating again, but the influence of Negative Speed Force powers and Barry keeping secrets from her has led to tension. Though once Barry loses the negative speed force powers and starts being more open things get better for them.
* The [[ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} Hawkmen]] and their partners (both at work and at play, as it were) ''used'' to have a similar happy relationship. Pre-Crisis, Carter and Shiera Hall of Earth-2 were married for about the same length of time as the Garricks, and used to go off on archaeological expeditions together in between JSA meetings. Likewise on Earth-1, Katar and Shayera Hol were married right from their creation. Post-Crisis (and post-John Ostrander and ''Hawkworld''), Hawk continuity is [[ContinuitySnarl just a mess]], but Carter and the new Hawkgirl still get together fairly often. In fact [[spoiler: the very first Hawkman and Hawkgirl's corpses are the central power battery of the Star Sapphire Corps (who are fueled by {{the Power of Love}})]]
* In ''ComicBook/TheAuthority'', Apollo and Midnighter. Interesting in that they're both gay superheroes who are happily married. Frequently played with, too, as they still have squabbles, and the kid-equals-stability thing was utterly subverted in the ''Revolutions'' arc (though that was mostly down to ManipulativeBastard Arch-Villain Bendix). However, they've been together for a long, ''long'' time, and no matter what crap gets thrown at them, their relationship is consistently a very loving one.
* This is such a major point in the ''Comicbook/AnimalMan'' comics that it affects his costuming. He adds a [[CivvieSpandex denim jacket]] over his regular skintight costume so he can carry around his keys and notes from his wife. He's the only superhero with "bring home milk" on his crimefighting agenda.
* The ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}}: Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl, who were long-standing sweethearts since the Silver Age and the second couple to be married. When Saturn Girl became pregnant with twin boys, she was the one who decided to go back on active duty while Lightning Lad chose to stay at home to look after the boys as a HouseHusband. Their status as happily married was briefly undone during the tenure of Creator/GeoffJohns as writer for what was considered the original Legion, with Saturn Girl trying to keep her husband under control while he kept snapping at her for never taking his side. When Paul Levitz came back as Legion writer, Garth's anger was toned down and the Ranzzs have gone back to being a supportive couple, this time with both of them retiring from active duty to raise their boys on Garth's home planet Winath.
** Also from the Legion are Bouncing Boy and Triplicate Girl, who were the first Legion couple to get married. In every continuity where they're married, they've never been shown as anything ''but'' absolutely crazy for each other.
* [[ComicBook/NewGods Scott Free and Big Barda]] prove that a beautiful relationship can come from the darkest of places. They first met on their horrendous home world of Apokolips. They quickly fell in love but he escaped Apokolips before she could. She eventually followed him to Earth where they got married. This happy marriage has followed them since their 1971 introduction to this day in both comics and adaptations. Barda is based on their creator Creator/JackKirby’s wife Roz to whom he was happily married for over fifty years before his death in 1994.

!!Marvel Universe
* ''Comicbook/SpiderMan'':
** Peter Parker and [[ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson Mary Jane]] until the ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' comic. They're also married in the newspaper strips, and have spent thirty years together there. This is parodied in ''Ultimate Spider-Man'', in which Mary Jane and Peter are so close that Liz Allen starts to refer to Mary Jane as "[[MythologyGag Mary Jane Watson-Parker]]" because "You two are totally married!" Peter even tells MJ at one point that when they become old enough he would marry her.
*** MJ and Peter are still married in the ''ComicBook/RenewYourVows'' 'verse, and have a daughter. Indeed, maintaining their marriage is a focus of the story and they become a BattleCouple.
*** It's kind of telling now that they're back to being an OfficialCouple in ComicBook/NickSpencersSpiderMan that most people assume it's a matter of when and not if they'll be married again. In fact, Issue 29 of the volume revealed [[spoiler: that Peter almost re-proposed to her.]]
** Likewise, Uncle Ben and Aunt May had a long, happy marriage before taking in Peter. Their backstory reveals that before getting married they actually had a WillTheyOrWontThey relationship which May compares to Peter and MJ's.
%%* ComicBook/LukeCage and ComicBook/JessicaJones.
* ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} and ComicBook/JeanGrey until Jean's death in ''ComicBook/NewXMen''.
* ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'': Reed Richards and Sue Storm-Richards tied the knot in ''Fantastic Four Annual'' #3, back in 1965, and they've been together ever since despite bumps. Namor (among others) has had an on-again-off-again StalkerWithACrush thing on Sue for a long time, and it hasn't always been ''completely'' one-sided.
* Mystique and Destiny, Rogue's adoptive parents, had an amazingly long loving relationship that began when the two women met in the 1890s and only ended when Destiny gave her life so that Mystique could live. Although it is known that through some unexplained circumstances they were separated for unspecified times, there was never seen a cross word between them. Pretty good showing, especially considering they're both villains.
* Debuting in ''ComicBook/{{Infinity}}'', [[UnholyMatrimony villain married couple]] Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight have an openly loving and affectionate marriage. They are minions of Thanos, literally [[ReligionOfEvil worship death]], and are bloodthirsty and cruel and love slaughter...but this doesn't stop them calling each other by [[SickeninglySweethearts pet names like "my love" or "dear midnight"]] in the middle of [[BattleCouple battle]]. Proxima even contradicts their whole 'love-of-death' belief by [[VillainousBSOD shutting down]] mid-battle because Corvus was vaporized.
* ''ComicBook/PlanetHulk'': ''The Hulk'' was this at the end, with his new queen, Caiera. It’s notable because not only was powerful enough to be somewhat of a challenge for Hulk, she also love both Hulk and Bruce Banner.
* Teddy Altman (Hulkling) and Billy Kaplan (Wiccan) of the ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'' and [[ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel ANADM's]] ''[[ComicBook/NewAvengers2015 New Avengers]]'' are well on their way to filling this trope. They're already the longest-lasting couple on the team, and they've been engaged since they were sixteen. Even a universe-ending parasite and mutual fears that [[spoiler:Billy was accidentally manipulating Teddy with his [[RealityWarper reality warping powers]]]] ultimately weren't enough to break them apart, with their relationship stronger than ever after working things through.
* Karolina and Xavin of the ''Comicbook/{{Runaways}}'' are also not married, as their wedding was interrupted by ''the planet they were on exploding'', but they were Happily Engaged up until Xavin was PutOnABus. The six couples that make up the Pride also count - while they're all [[UnholyMatrimony murdering, thieving supervillains]], their marriages and family lives are quite healthy (except for [[AbusiveParents the way the Steins treat Chase]], but even then, they love him and are willing to die for him).
%%** Gertrude and Chase . [[spoiler:And then Gert died, though recent events hint that it might be reversed.]]
* In [[http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Earth-3490 one alternate universe]], ComicBook/CaptainAmerica and a female version of ComicBook/IronMan. Their happy relationship is the main reason that Earth-3490 is a utopia.

%%* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehog'': Bunnie and Antoine, and in the "Mobius X Years Later" universe, Sonic and Sally.

* ''Franchise/ArchieComics'' has this as the norm:

* ''ComicBook/{{Wonder Woman|1942}}'': On Earth-Two [[Franchise/WonderWoman Diana]] and ComicBook/SteveTrevor had a loving marriage not only for a human lifetime but beyond after being brought to Mount Olympus. Together they had a daughter Lyta/the Fury who continued the family's heroic traditions. They were also happily married on Earth-One, but ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' happened shortly after their marriage.

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'': On the Earth-2 Diana and ComicBook/SteveTrevor had a loving marriage not only for a human lifetime but beyond after being brought to Mount Olympus. Together they had a daughter Lyta/the Fury who continued the family's heroic traditions.

** Also from the Legion are Bouncing Boy and Triplicate Girl, who were the first Legion couple to get married. In every continuity where they're married, they've never been shown as anything ''but'' absolutely crazy for each other.

* ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'' has a ''lot'' of happily married couples, despite the elves' open sexuality. Among the elves there are Redlance and Nightfall, Strongbow and Moonshade, Woodlock and Rainsong, and Cutter and Leetah. You could also add Bearclaw and Joyleaf - they ''do'' have some pretty fierce quarrels, but always make up afterward. Also the trolls Picknose and Oddbit (really!) and the humans Nonna and Adar. In the event of romantic rivalries, forming threesomes is considered a perfectly acceptable, if relatively rare, solution.
** What's more, in a sense Cutter and Skywise are "married" - yeah, they're both guys (though remember, in ''[=ElfQuest=]'' EveryoneIsBi) but in many respects they act like a married couple.
** All of which is not surprising when you remember that ''[=ElfQuest=]'' was created by Wendy and Richard Pini, who've been happily married for over three decades.

* ComicBook/LukeCage and ComicBook/JessicaJones.

* In ''ComicBook/TheAuthority'', Apollo and Midnighter. Interesting in that they're both gay superheroes who are happily married.

However, they've been together for a long, ''long'' time, and no matter what crap gets thrown at them, their relationship is consistently a very loving one.
* [[ComicBook/ElongatedMan Ralph and Sue Dibny.]] Ralph and Sue Disney had a loving relationship that lasted decades real time. Sadly they both died on separate occasions. ([[spoiler:They came back as ghosts but were most recently seen zombified... and happily married.]])

* ''Franchise/ArchieComics'' has this as the norm:
** Archie's parents, Betty's parents, Jughead's parents... even Veronica's parents, despite being [[strike:m]]billionaires, aren't using that money as an excuse to become a stereotypically disconnected rich couple.
** Reggie may be a jerk, but he can't blame it on a dysfunctional family.
** The only exception was Midge crying because her parents were on the verge of divorce and even then she said they would stay together "with counseling".
%%* Casey Jones and April O'Neil in ''Comicbook/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Mirage}}''. Eventually.
* This is such a major point in the ''Comicbook/AnimalMan'' comics that it affects his costuming. He adds a [[CivvieSpandex denim jacket]] over his regular skintight costume so he can carry around his keys and notes from his wife. He's the only superhero with "bring home milk" on his crimefighting agenda.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'' Beauty and Beast definitely qualify, despite the occasional bickerings (as Beauty points out, you can't expect a marriage to last for thousands of years without quarreling). [[spoiler:Snow White and Bigby also qualify later]].
%%* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehog'': Bunnie and Antoine, and in the "Mobius X Years Later" universe, Sonic and Sally.

%%%%* Swedish comic book ''ComicBook/{{Bamse}}'' has the eponymous character happily married with four children.
%%* ''ComicBook/TopTen'': Irma Geddon and her husband Ron. Kemlo Caesar and Neural 'Nette. [[spoiler: Captain Jetman and Wulf]] probably count too, even if the court is out on whether or not they're actually married.
%%* King Jeryk and Queen Helena in ''TheCourageousPrincess''
%%* ''RichieRich'''s parents.
* The ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}}: Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl, who were long-standing sweethearts since the Silver Age and the second couple to be married.

%%* Earth 2 has both Batman/Catwoman and Superman/Lois Lane (Batman and Catwoman had a daughter together, even!)
* Cartoonist Creator/CharlesAddams invariably depicted marriage as a literal battlefield, with the notable exception of his reoccurring characters who became Series/TheAddamsFamily: in their own very unique way, proto-Gomez and Morticia are a loving and devoted couple.
* In ''ComicBook/PS238'', Malphast's parents are quite happy together, although, given they're personifications of Chaos and Order, it's not entirely clear if they're actually married. But if they were humans, they'd probably be a model family.
* Appears fairly frequently in ''ComicBook/AstroCity,'' due to its overall optimistic nature.
