When I asked myself this question, the answer that immediately sprang to mind was Macon and Muriel in Anne Tyler's wonderful novel
The Accidental Tourist
. Thinking that answer was too easy, I pondered a while. Of course there is also Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice, who are delightful and memorable. They would probably be my second choice. But sad, bereaved Macon and his rescue by the unconventional Muriel may speak more to contemporary circumstances.
My reading tends to focus less on relationships than on life challenges. No doubt other readers will have more couples to choose from. But I do highly recommend The Accidental Tourist and pretty much anything else by Anne Tyler, although many of her stories have common elements (as I mention in my write-up on Noah's Compass).
