History HappilyMarried / WesternAnimation

** Dale Gribble could probably be named the MOST faithful guy on network television. He worships the ground his wife walks on, pampers her, never says an unkind word to her, trusts her completely, the works. Even when his hero - a genius of an exterminator - throws herself at him, he pushes her away with a rant about his marriage vows that implies that he thinks his devotion to fidelity should be obvious to anyone, as well as mentioning that his wife "the greatest woman there ever was." All this is fairly undeserved: Nancy cheated on him for fourteen years and passed off her lover's son as Dale's. Considering that her lover, John Redcorn, is [[ChocolateBaby Native American and the boy is the spitting image of him]], that's a testament to Dale's faith or stupidity. However, after she stopped cheating, they became at least as happy as Hank and Peggy, and much more affectionate. Of course, this is mainly because Dale never found out about his wife's affair - he trusts and loves her so much the thought of her cheating on him doesn't even cross his mind. Oh yeah... that's one guy who's never gonna mess around. Ever.

%%* Bob and Linda of ''BobsBurgers''

* Mr. and Mrs. Flemkin (aka Eric and Sharon Flemkin) in ''WesternAnimation/NedsNewt'', more or less.

** the two married wizards Selwyn and Tallulah argue so much that their home is called Quarrel Castle; but Papa Smurf points out that deep down, they truly love each other dearly.

** Mr. Carrot Cake and Mrs. Cup Cake, who run the Sugarcube Corner bakery and are rarely seen apart. When the Foal Free Press ran a BlatantLies story about how 'the Cakes are splitting up' it was treated as earth-shaking news and the Cakes themselves were as shocked as anyone.
** Also, after [[EarnYourHappyEnding going through hell to actually get married]], Princess Cadance and Shining Armor. Cadance sings about 'loving and cheerishing each day' and in every episode they're in after afterward, these lyrics are upheld.

* In ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'', the Scotsman's relationship with his wife is... weird, but likely fits the Trope. He clearly loves her, and she goes from being angry at him (with him doing his hardest to apologize for every accusation she makes) to the two of them acting like SickeninglySweethearts. (In a later episode, he compares her singing to choirs of angels, although it's probably a matter of opinion; his own bagpipe playing [[HollywoodToneDeaf is pretty bad.]])

** Tenzin and Pema married for love and are still in love after three airbending children.

* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' has Maddie and Jack Fenton. They've known each other since college and are still madly in love with each other, even when they get into standard arguments. Their love is so strong, not even alternative time periods or virtual programming can keep them apart.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'', the two married wizards Selwyn and Tallulah argue so much that their home is called Quarrel Castle; but Papa Smurf points out that deep down, they truly love each other dearly.

* WesternAnimation/KimPossible's parents. Mr. and Mrs. Stoppable also have a happy marriage from what we see of them, their [[ParentalNeglect failure to keep Ron in the loop of major life upheavals]] notwithstanding.

* ''WestenAnimation/DannyPhantom'' has Maddie and Jack Fenton. They've known each other since college and are still madly in love with each other, even when they get into standard arguments. Their love is so strong, not even alternative time periods or virtual programming can keep them apart.

** Mr. Carrot Cake and Mrs. Cup Cake, who run the Sugarcube Corner bakery and are rarely seen apart. When Ponyvile Confidential ran a BlatantLies story about how 'the Cakes are splitting up' it was treated as earth-shaking news and the Cakes themselves were as shocked as anyone.

%%* Avatar Roku in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' got his perfect happy family.
%%** And eventually, so did [[AlphaCouple Aang and Katara.]]
%%** Tenzin and Pema in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''.

* [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Homer and Marge Simpson]]; yeah, they have arguments and the like, but there is that sense that they genuinely love each other and they always bounce back. And when their current troubles do genuinely threaten their marriage, it's always treated as a Big F'n Deal, not just life as usual.
** Indeed, it's quite possible that Homer Simpson is the most faithful husband on network television - certainly ''one'' of the most faithful. Especially odd considering beautiful single women keep throwing themselves at him, and he keeps turning them down flat. Not to mention at least [[EvenTheGuysWantHim one gay guy]]!
*** Shown quite well in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie''. [[spoiler:When the family is fleeing the town, the only valuable thing Marge takes is the tape of her wedding dance with Homer. Later, the fact that Marge recorded over part of the tape was enough to wake Homer up to how selfish he was and go off to save his family.]]

* Hank and Peggy Hill in ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' are also an example of this, with Hank probably the second most faithful guy on network television, experiencing several moments where beautiful women threw themselves at him and him turning them down.

* The fact that Jack and Maddie are happily married in ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' is a justification Danny uses on [[MagnificentBastard Vlad Masters]], [[MurderTheHypotenuse who desires]] [[LoveMakesYouEvil the latter]]. Even the Maddie program Vlad made admits that she's always loved the Jack program.
* Despite being utterly batty, Mr. and Mrs. Turner from ''TheFairlyOddparents'' are a tight-knit, mutually supportive couple. Most of the time, that is. Cosmo and Wanda qualify as well.
** Half the time their entire motivation is making Timmy happy and the other half is ignoring him.

%%** Especially Chas and Kira. As seen in the episodes "Finsterella", "The Big Sneeze", "Bow Wow Wedding Vows", "Babies In Toyland", "Sweet Dreams", "Mutt's in a Name", and "Kimi Takes The Cake" just to name a few.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has Mr. Carrot Cake and Mrs. Cup Cake, who run the Sugarcube Corner bakery and are rarely seen apart. When Ponyvile Confidential ran a BlatantLies story about how 'the Cakes are splitting up' it was treated as earth-shaking news and the Cakes themselves were as shocked as anyone.
** Also, after [[EarnYourHappyEnding going through hell to actually get married]], Princess Cadance and Shining Armor.
* In a rare overlap with UnholyMatrimony, we have the Monarch and Dr. Mrs. the Monarch from ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers''.
* Hugh and Jean from ''TazMania'' are ''very'' happily married.
* The parents from ''WesternAnimation/TheReplacements'' seem like an OddCouple, but they love each other a lot.
* [[spoiler: Orel and Christina]] in the DistantFinale of MoralOrel, when seen celebrating Christmas with their children. [[spoiler: Still averted with Clay and Bloberta though, as evidenced by the photo on his wall]].
* In the DistantFinale of ''{{WesternAnimation/Chowder}}'', [[spoiler: Chowder and Panini, as well as Shnitzel and Endive]] are this. Mung Daal and Truffles are this sometimes.
* ''WesternAnimation/NedsNewt'': Ned's parents, who are never seen arguing, though both are [[TheDitz rather scatterbrained]].

** Also, after [[EarnYourHappyEnding going through hell to actually get married]], Princess Cadence and Shining Armor.

* David Xanatos and his wife Fox on ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}},''. After their marriage we see them playing chess as foreplay, raising their son, Alex, and other such domestic bliss that one forgets they are both villains. Fox only married because she was in love with him and he demonstrated his love for her in a undeniable fashion; begging his worst enemy and giving up a priceless magic artifact
in return for help saving her.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has Mr. Carrot Cake and Mrs. Cup Cake, who run the Sugarcube Corner bakery.

* In ''ScoobyDooMysteryInc'', Fred's [[spoiler:real]] parents are SickeninglySweethearts. Daphne's parents are shown to be this as well, such as their fake vacation. [[spoiler: After the CosmicRetcon, Ricky Owens and Cassidy Williams are this as shown on a TV commercial. Sheriff Stone and Mayor Nettles, a happy couple before the retcon, have now been married for quite some time with four children]].

%%* [[spoiler: Orel and Christina]] in the DistantFinale of MoralOrel. [[spoiler: Still averted with Clay and Bloberta though]].

* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' has [[spoiler: Hayley and Jeff]]. The events of the 2010 Christmas episode indicate it may actually last.

* The fact that Jack and Maddie are happily married in ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' is actually a justification Danny uses on [[MagnificentBastard Vlad Masters]], [[MurderTheHypotenuse who desires]] [[LoveMakesYouEvil the latter]].
** Heck, even the Maddie program Vlad made admits that she's always loved the Jack program.

** Half the time their entire motivation is making Timmy happy and the other half is ignoring him, almost deliberately. They practically share a HiveMind.
%%** Don't forget Jorgen Von Strangle and the Tooth Fairy.

%%* David Xanatos and his wife Fox on ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}},'' despite [[UnholyMatrimony both being evil]].
%%** Fox is actually far ''less'' evil than her husband, and often serves as his MoralityChain. In fact in one episode which suggests the two are using the Manhattan Clan and the Pack in a sort of chess game against each other, she's the one on the side of the good guys.
* Zachary and Eliza Foxx on ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers''. Granted, it's mostly in the {{backstory}}, as she was captured in the pilot. Still, it's clear that Zachary is utterly devoted to her and their kids. Eliza was even FightingFromTheInside to warn, then later comfort, her grieving husband in "Psychocrypt."
