Goodreads asked Dave Riese:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Dave Riese My unusual choice is Captain Jack Aubrey and Dr. Stephen Maturin whose friendship spans twenty novels by Patrick O'Brian. The British naval adventures of the two men play out against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars. Over the course of the series, we read about the respect they have for one and other, the way their individual talents complement each other, and the disagreements that crop up between friends. I am ready to start reading the last volume and look forward to visiting these characters who are as real as any couple in literature.
