Ladies, please remember that you don't have to marry the first penis you meet. Calling out pop culture for promoting unrealistic relationship expectations.
Everyone loves a happy ending. OK, almost everyone. But the writers of children's and teen fiction seem to be confusing the words "happy" and "married." Teaching a whole generation (or two) of impressionable youths to stick a gold band on the first person they crushed on is a recipe for disaster. Thanks for contributing to the high divorce rate, pop culture.
Miss Piggy and Kermit
Le sigh. You guys are the best, but unfortunately you're not together. Miss Piggy is that tough, ballsy go-getter who shoots for the stars but is weighted down by her lackadaisical, chill, "the universe will provide" boyfriend. The classy bitch who became the editor of Vogue Paris would have never been able to tolerate a life with a frog who basically wrote songs about "The Rainbow Connection" all day and cleaned up enough to be a trophy husband by night.

Han Solo and Leia (Movie Universe*)
THESE TWO — I shipped it before I knew what shipping was, but let's be honest. Han was never going to settle into the penguin-suited politician by default role, and Leia was never going to give up her empire.
*They are married in the extended universe, but Han hangs back in the shadows and sometimes does Leia's dirty work. Makes you wonder what kind of ruler Leia truly ended up being.
