I have 3 answers for this question:)
My enduring favorite fictional couple is Aragorn and Arwen from Lord of the Rings. Why? I am a romantic in the purest sense of the word, which means I believe humans can express the highest qualities of character. A & As love expresses devotion, faith, and inspiration. Even in their darkest hours, A & A remain faithful to their inner experience of love, in spite of long separation and events in the external world that ask them, push them, influence them to deny or abandon their love. Their love gives them both a guiding light, and that light spreads until it illumines the whole world of Middle Earth. Kind of awesome!
My contemporary (although maybe not that contemporary anymore!) favorite fictional couple is Jake and Rose from the movie the Titanic. Yes, I hear the groans, lol. BUT I lost my mother when I was young and the concept of living on, and the memory of someone you love giving you strength through the years, is so powerful to me and I thought it was excellently shown in that movie when Rose returns the Heart of the Ocean back to the depths where she last saw Jack ...
And ... on finding your own true love, soul mate ... whatever ... my favorite story is Chasing Amy ... because well, you need to keep your eyes and heart open so you don't miss them when they show up:)
Thanks for the question!
