History HappilyMarried / ComicBooks

* ''ComicBook/TheFlash:

* ''ComicBook/JusticeSocietOfAmerica'': In ''ComicBook/JSAClassified'', the reformed meta-human thief Johnny Mimic has been in a happy loving relationship with his wife Linda for decades. Once the government discovered his location they used that relationship against him in order to force him to use his powers for S.H.A.D.E. by threatening his wife.

* 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 [[Characters/SupermanLoisLane Lois Lane]] 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 [[Characters/SupermanLoisLane Lois Lane]] 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.

* Franchise/TheFlash:

** 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.
* ''ComicBook/JSAClassified'': The reformed meta-human thief Johnny Mimic has been in a happy loving relationship with his wife Linda for decades. Once the government discovered his location they used that relationship against him in order to force him to use his powers for S.H.A.D.E. by threatening his wife.
* The ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes: 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.

* 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.

* ''ComicBook/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".
* Count Max and Ruby, the Vampire King and Queen of the Night from ''WesternAnimation/ScaryGodmother'', are head over for heels for each other. It's a case of OppositesAttract: Max prefers things old fashioned and likes adhering to traditional ways while Ruby is something of a modern woman who has no trouble adjusting to change. In one comic the two have a brief fight over traditional versus modern ways, and while separate, they see things about both lifestyles they don't find attractive at all. Max is followed by fan girls who want to obey his every command, which Max is reminded is something that was considered an old fashioned trait in women but which ''he'' thinks is disgusting. Ruby is accosted by several "modern" vampires who make rude comments and treat her disrespectfully. This also reminds Max and Ruby of why they love each other. Max thinks Ruby is vibrant and energetic and is attracted to her determination and ability to think for herself. Ruby loves Max's respectful demeanor and the way he both genuinely compliments her and treats her like a goddess.

* ''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.

* 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/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'' has Bunnie Rabbot and Antoine D'Coolette. It helps that their marriage manages to survive the CosmicRetcon.
* 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.
* 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.
%%* ''RichieRich'''s parents.
* The ''20/20'' oneshot of ''ComicBook/JemAndTheHologramsIDW'' shows Jerrica and Rio have settled down in the 20 years after the events of the original series.
