This is an unexpected question.
I don't know many couples in fiction, at least not many spring to mind, but I do like Claire and Jamie from Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. Before that, I hasten to add I liked the concept of the Phantom (Kit Walker) and Diana Palmer from the comic books. Another fictional couple are Tori Alexander and Maelgwyn from Traci Harding's numerous books.
They all share common characteristics: a strong male, and a strong female. The women are strong in temperament, do whatever it takes, and keep their femininity without appearing as "the damsel in distress". The woman is just as likely to come to the rescue of the man, in these cases, so both characters shine.
