Goodreads asked Mari Collier:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Mari Collier Sayward and Portious in Conrad Richter's trilogy, The Awakening Land. They are so different, yet their marriage survives eight children, death of a child, infidelity in a time when there were no medicines for a woman weakened by childbirth, and the plain, hard work required of humans in the middle 19th century. A fantastic tale of family bounds.
