* In ''Literature/AWrinkleInTime'' (and its sequels) Mr. and Mrs. Murray are both extremely intelligent scientists in different fields. Local gossips suggested this meant [[ChildProdigy Charles Wallace]] was retarded before he started talking.

* ''Series/FamilyMatters'': [[ExtravertedNerd Steve Urkel]] is a TeenGenius and this trope applies to both his important relationships. While not smart as Steve, first love Laura and PsychoExGirlfriend Myra are both brilliant girls in their own right (although Myra is much more similar to Steve, personality-wise). He eventually ends up with Laura.

Added DiffLines:

** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with Carter and Allison. Carter is far from stupid, but as Sheriff and OnlySaneMan he's not one of the scientists; his intelligence runs more towards averting whatever danger the geniuses have created this week, while Allison is a medical doctor who at various times runs either GD itself, or the medical division. Notably, in "Smarter Carter," when Carter's intellect is artificially enhanced she does not like the result, partly because he TookALevelInJerkass.
** Also subverted with Zane and Jo. Zane is a BoxedCrook recruited for his genius with physics and computers, while Jo is (depending on the timeline) either the Deputy Sheriff or the Head of Security. Like Carter, she's far from dumb, but her talents run towards tactics and problem-solving than science.

**Amusingly, Max ends up on the receiving end herself because her friends all ship ''her'' with Warren for the excat same reason! Lampshaded by Dana during episode 1:
-->"You should totally come the Vortex Club party Friday night. Pick something out and show up as a cute geek couple with your bitch, Warren."
