Goodreads asked P.J. Sullivan:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

P.J. Sullivan Certainly not Philip Carey and Mildred Rogers. Certainly not Madame Bovary and her boring husband. David Copperfield’s girl friends are too sappy to take seriously. Raskolnikov and Sonia are too intense. Superman and Lois Lane are too politically correct. Certainly not Soames Forsyte and poor Ireney! If Rhett Butler doesn't "give a damn" about Scarlett O'Hara, why should I? Mickey and Minnie Mouse are rodents. Nancy and Sluggo are not married. Nor are Lolita and Humbert Humbert. Lady Chatterley and her lover are banned in Boston. Popeye's lady friend, Olive Oyl, is too skinny. So, by elimination, I’d have to say Little Dorrit and her Arthur Clennam. Why? Because she is so cute! And because she is nicer than Ward and June Cleaver combined, if that is possible. Yep, Amy Dorrit it is, and her Arthur, by default.
