Your question made me stop and think hard. I finally concluded that Tristan and Isolde, as portrayed in the Wagner opera, are probably the couple I like best. Their love for each other is complete and consuming. It’s expressed in passionate love-making in which they are equal partners. Each would die for the other and end up doing so.
The next-best couple to my liking is one that I created myself: Josh and Mimi in the novel I’m working on right now, tentatively titled Josh at the Door. They’re both in their eighties and are quite different from each other. Yet they end up completely committed to one another, despite multiple obstacles. What I like best about them is their determination that, despite their age, they will enjoy and give to each other a deeply-rooted devotion based on the sexual fulfillment they’ll give to each other. In that, they demonstrate great courage and initiative. I admire their spunk.
