There are some couples in television shows that just feel right together. While most series tend to focus on the developing love stories between two characters, that doesn't mean couples that are already established should be overlooked.
Some married couples perfectly complement each other and even elevate a TV show's quality. Although many of these pairings are already romantically involved at the start of their series, they are still a delight to watch. Their interactions and relationship growth can even be the main reason for why their show is adored by fans.

On the flip side, Holt learned to respect that Kevin worried about his safety and that he could also provide a pillar of support for him.
