There's a reason they have to do this— be together, that is. While I know this plot line isn't always plausible, it's still possible. 

And there's something I love about that.

Digging deeper to figure out why, it might be the fact that when you get down to it, ALL relationships are about making a commitment. You're agreeing to find a way through your troubles, to find a way to enjoy life together on a daily basis. To find fun and happiness with someone else around.

So while these couples have a reason they MUST stay together, or pretend to be together, or actually get married for real…

Continuing to work things through chaos with another person?

That sounds like a great basis for finding forever to me!
