A 'couple' who could be classed as my favourite but who are not (yet) actually a couple are Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott in the excellent trilogy by Robert Galbraith (J K Rowling) - beginning with 'The Cuckoo's Calling'.
The difficulty posed by the question is in identifying a fictional couple where I like both of them. This is so often not the case! However with the pair I have chosen, I like them both very much. I also find the interaction between them highly entertaining. The characters are beautifully and sensitively drawn by the author, to the point where one actually cares what happens to them.
Would I feel the same if they came together as a couple? It is amusing to ponder on whether there would be the same chemistry, but it would be a delight to find out!(less)

The Fourth Man by Lee Child
"Read again 22 Jun 2026.

Interesting the ebook was originally sold to drum up some interest for the upcoming novel Blue Moon.

I'm setting this aside, having re-read 25%. I first read this extraordinary novel fifty years ago when my father recommended it to me.

My impressions of what I have now read: it's a wonderful novel. Some of the descriptive prose is achingly beautiful
