History Main / HappilyMarried

* Chelsea and Tucker from Season 5 onwards of ''{{Machinima/Anon}}'', their daughter Candace even states she wants a relationship like theirs someday.

* [[Website/{{Twitch}} Twitch streamer]] [[WebOriginal/The8BitDrummer The 8-Bit Drummer]] is this with his wife and fellow Twitch streamer, [[https://www.twitch.tv/Chatia Chatia]].

* [[WebVideo/StephenVlog Stephen Georg]] and his wife, Mallory, fit this trope to a T. Often times, it's hard to remember that Stephen and Mal are married because their personalities are so distinctly defined, as well as how their dynamic with each other feels natural and not something to play up.

Not to be confused with SickeninglySweethearts, which is basically puppy love. They ''can'' overlap, but it's rare. This trope usually gives viewers [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments warm fuzzy feeling]] instead of [[TastesLikeDiabetes tasting like diabetes]], though the [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism cynicism of the viewers]] still has to be taken into account. If and when they have kids, they will often become GoodParents.

Despite some fiction likening this to a DiscreditedTrope (partly because common knowledge dictates that happy marriages [[TrueLoveIsBoring are ill suited for drama]]. Whether common knowledge is right or not is another matter entirely), a ''lot'' of people out there would call this TruthInTelevision, which is why we won't list all those examples. (Congrats to you!) Apparently the secret is to understand that you will end up arguing at some point and that does not mean you are no longer in love but [[EarnYourHappyEnding keep working at your marriage]], [[PoorCommunicationKills talk to each other]], do little things all the time, and never confuse falling in love and being in love; they feel different. This advice is often summed up with "Don't go to bed still angry at each-other." There's absolutely no shame in ''simply getting along well'', if it works for the two of you.

Obviously, this is the desired outcome for most who want to marry, so NoRealLifeExamplesPlease

The net effect of having a Happily Married couple in a series is one of stability. (As a general rule, Happily Married couples with kids will be depicted as [[GoodParents more loving and more stable than those without]].) Just having them around gives viewers and characters in the show an emotional anchor and safety net, as well as someones to root for while the OfficialCouple is deciding WillTheyOrWontThey. (Occasionally, TheyDo!) Needless to say, most viewers will thusly become very protective of said couple and complain when authors needlessly torment them.

%%* Scotty and Beulah from ''WebAnimation/LooneyTunesIntroBloopers''. They became HappilyMarried in Episode 72.

* Vlogger and [[RealLife musician]] Robert (a.k.a. [[https://www.youtube.com/user/rpeek rpeek]]) and his wife Trish are an adorable, goofy, happily married [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgbnSW0z9RY couple of cut-ups]].
* Two ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'' personalities are married: [[Creator/{{Egoraptor}} Arin Hanson]] to Suzy "[=Mortem3r=]" Berhow
%%* Ethan and Hila of ''WebVideo/H3h3productions'' are married and very happy.
* Part of the charm of ''LetsPlay/TheBowlingotterShow'' is seeing how {{Adorkable}} the married hosts, Matt and Lissy, are.
* While [[Creator/MichaelJones Michael]] and Lindsay Jones of Creator/AchievementHunter are very happily married with children, they also [[SlapSlapKiss enjoy insulting and making fun of each other]] in the group's videos. The [=RouLetsPlay=] of ''Quiplash 2'' even perfectly demonstrated their shared sense of humor when [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike they individually]] [[https://youtu.be/Bi-TElFpwoY?t=27m59s put in the same answer.]] One story he tells was prior to their RelationshipUpgrade, she accidentally hit him in the face while driving. So as a prank, he punched ''himself'' in the face to make it look like she hit him harder than she did. She did feel bad, but after he revealed that it was a self-inflicted prank, ''she thought it was hilarious''.
