** During the ''Comicbook/{{New52}}'' it became canon until the next reboot retconned it away.

* ''Fanfic/CallMeKara'': [[Franchise/TheFlash Barry Allen]] and [[Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} Kara Danvers]] are two of the most powerful beings in the multiverse, but that doesn't mean that there's nothing that can threaten them...

* Conner Kent/ComicBook/{{Superboy}} and Cassandra Sandsmark / ComicBook/WonderGirl are, more often than not, together. Due to their heritages--half-Kryptonian and Amazon, respectively--they are two of the most powerful heroes of Franchise/TheDCU.

** ComicBook/JLAActOfGod has them get together, though you can argue about whether it fits this trope, since they're depowered at the time.

** ComicBook/HerculesUnbound and Hippolyta tried dating briefly, before he betrayed her and enslaved her and her people. Despite this, centuries later she still finds herself attracted to him after he's begged forgiveness in some continuities.

* ''Fanfic/CodexEquus'': Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, the Bogolenya Deer-Draconequus god of Pride, and his long-time friend and the Alicorn god of Humility, Blue Suede Heartstrings, eventually become this. At first, Blue Suede didn't like the idea of a god who encourages excessive pride due to bad experiences with arrogant people, but he gradually accepted it after Stoltur showed him [[PayEvilUntoEvil exactly why he does it]], causing them to become friends. However, [[spoiler:after a particularly brutal TraumaCongaLine that leads to Blue Suede having a spectacular breakdown and coming out of the entire ordeal an extremely broken stallion, he finally comes to understand the beneficial aspects of pride, and accepts Stoltur as his coltfriend. After becoming Prince Caerulus Melodia and joining the Equestrian Pantheon, Caerulus and Stoltur would marry as husbands in a small ceremony. This has caused many puristic deities and mortals to [[MalignedMixedMarriage try separate them in disgust towards a god of Humility marrying an 'evil' god of Pride]], but everyone else is otherwise fine with it. And because Caerulus is much older and taller than Stoltur, he's mistaken to be the dominant partner in their marriage, when it's actually Stoltur who's dominant while Caerulus is submissive. That being said, Stoltur has been helping Caerulus build up his self-confidence by encouraging him to take lead, and taking turns in being dominant/submissive during sex]].

* ''Fanfic/NobledarkImperium'': The Imperium is ruled jointly by Oscar, the last Man of the Gold and thus last survivor of the race of transhuman demigods created to rule over the ancient human empire, and Isha, the Eldar's mother goddess and one of the only three deities of the pantheon to survive Slaanesh's birth. Their marriage was originally a politically-minded move necessary to bring the scattered societies of humanity and the Eldar under a single banner, but has since become the cultural cornerstone of Imperial society. How well this fits the "god" part of the trope depends on who you're asking; Oscar is very strongly of the opinion that he is not, in fact, a god, while Isha thinks he's just fooling himself.

* ''Film/{{Hancock}}'' deals with the titular character recovering his memory and being reintroduced to his ex-wife, who also has super powers.

* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': War of the HorsemenOfTheApocalypse and the former {{Valkyrie|s}} Mrs War. Despite the fact AnthropomorphicPersonifications don't age, marriage seems to have resulted in War shifting from a BoisterousBruiser to something more like a comfortably retired general, who maybe used to be a BoisterousBruiser in his distant youth. It's probably psychological.[[note]]Or else, as modernisation spreads and the influence of Vetinari and Vimes spreads out further, the incidence of actual all-out war on the Discworld is diminishing. even Borogravia and Zlobenia are forced into an uneasy ceasefire, ending a centuries old war. On the As Above, So Below principle -- maybe with less war there is less need for War, and he's diminishing - the "retired General" analogy may be perfect here. [[/note]]

* ''Series/TalesFromTheDarkside'' episode "Let the Games Begin". An angel and a devil have a contest over who gets a dead person's soul. At the end they give into their growing attraction to each other and get together.

** The main premise of the story is that Axl (Odin) is searching for his Frigg, so that they can become one. And, not incidentally, restore the gods to their former power.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1985'': In "Ye Gods", Cupid and Megaera were a couple in the late 19th or early 20th century until he cheated on her with a mortal woman named Drusilla. After Cupid convinced Jupiter to turn Drusilla into a demigod, Megaera [[{{Animorphism}} turned her into a tree frog]]. Todd Ettinger realizes that the only way that he can either meet the woman with whom Cupid has made him fall in love or have his intense love for her lifted is to help Cupid and Megaera patch up their differences. When he lures the two of them into his office and traps them there with a smell given to him by Baachus, Cupid apologizes and they resume their relationship. As a reward, Cupid arranges for Todd to run into the woman once again.

** Another of Zeus' mortal lovers who was achieved godhood was Semele; here however it was largely because of the intervention of her son Dionysus who went down to Hades to bring her back. As an immortal her name became Thyone. Semele's sister Ino, who had acted as Dionysus' nurse, also became a goddess under the name Leucothea.

* [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Roman Mythology]] as usual largely oriented itself after the Greek myths, thus Zeus' equivalent Jupiter is married to Juno, Pluto to Proserpina, and Neptune to Salacia. Mars, the Roman god of war and agriculture, however, was somewhat different from his Greek counterpart Ares, and was usually paired with the war-goddess Bellona, who [[DependingOnTheAuthor is variously described]] as his wife, sister or daughter.

** Isis and Osiris were married, and their cults were based around the story of how Isis rescued Osiris's mutilated body parts after Set murdered him. Their son, Horus, was one of the {{Top God}}s of the pantheon.

** Another [[MasculineGirlFeminineBoy odd couple]] consists of Ptah (the wise god of creators, craftsmen and architects) and Sekhmet (the bloodthirsty goddess of war and slaughter).

* Myth/NorseMythology: Óðinn and Frigg, Þór and Sif, Loki and Angrboða (this is God on Giant action technically[[note]]or even ''Giant'' on Giant action -- Loki is a Giant who is a God because he got adopted as a brother by Óðinn. As one might guess, the differences between Gods and Giants weren't always all that clear in Norse mythology.[[/note]]). The giantess Skaði marries Njörðr (and seems to be placed in the role of goddess of hunting, skiing and mountains), but some stories indicate this does not last -- at which point she instead becomes a consort of Óðinn.

** Brahma (the God of Creation) and Saraswati (the Goddess of Knowledge). In this case, ''Saraswati'' is the more popular one to invoke (especially for students and academics) compared to her husband, who people revere but almost never directly pray to.
* Izanagi and his wife, Izanami, the creator deities of Japan according to Shintoism in Myth/JapaneseMythology. Amaterasu was also initially married (or at least betrothed) to her brother Tsukuyomi, until his murder of food deity Ukemochi drove her away from him in disgust.

** There is also a divine couple with Plot Device level significance, namely [[spoiler:[[BigBad The Ebon Dragon]] and the Scarlet Empress]]. Depending on what kind of Exalt you are, you might want to stop their nuptial, or prevent others from doing so.

** Erastil, the god of hunting, agriculture, and community, is ''very'' family-oriented and is HappilyMarried to the minor agriculture goddess Jaidi, with whom he has two children. He frequently tries to set other Good-aligned deities up with partners, and considers LoveGoddess Shelyn a friend for her support for marriage and family.

** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'': Almalexia spent time coupled with each of her fellow PhysicalGod members of the Tribunal. Neither coupling lasted all that long (at least, on the godly scale of time), with her relationship with Sotha Sil lasting slightly longer (though more intermittent due to his MadScientist nature). Almalexia did a lot of coupling, but considered Nerevar to be her lover long after his death. And Nerevar/Almalexia were a political God Couple while they were still mortal.

* The {{backstory}} for the ''VideoGame/{{Disciples}}'' series includes Gallean and Soloniel. Gallean planted the forests and populated them with [[OurElvesAreDifferent elves]], while Soloniel cried oceans and bore [[FishPeople merfolk]]. Then they had to go and antagonize [[Myth/NorseMythology Wotan]], known for his temper, who rips Gallean's heart out and throws it into the sun. Soloniel jumps after it but the sun burns her, turning her into Mortis, the goddess of death. Mortis revives Gallean, at which point he tells her it's over, since she's now fleshless.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' featured literal GodCouple Oberon and Titania. It's implied they split at some point, but clearly reconciled by the time Oberon appears near the end of Season 2.
* ''WesternAnimation/MummiesAlive'' has an example in the form of Geb and Net. The spirts of the earth and sky respectively. In the show they are a married couple rather than [[BrotherSisterIncest brother and sister.]] There's also a clear case of UglyGuyHotWife going on.
