There are two fictional couples that I like: the heroine and Max de Winter in Du Maurier's Rebecca AND Jane Eyre and Mr Rochester.
The reason for choosing these two is because they are rather similar. Both couples are very broken and dysfunctional inside from the start of their initial attractions. Rebecca's heroine is inadequate, insecure and totally unable to believe she might be worthy of real love. Jane Eyre has been starved of love since the very beginning and these books gradually reveal, through an almost painful discovery though misreadings, doubts and wrong turns, that there really is love. It is through the process of the loving that these couples allow deep inner wounds and injuries from a lifetime, start to rise up and heal, which is what real loving is all about.
