I don't pay much attention to fictional couples except while reading a book, so it's the rare couple I will even remember a couple of days later.
As tempted as I am to say Romeo and Juliet, I'd be hard-pressed to give an accurate explanation. "Just because they're famous" won't work.
However, I'm rather fond of some of the couples in my own novels. Mattie and Gus Gospello come to mind (from The Devil and Pastor Gus) because Mattie is unselfish to the point of allowing herself to die (perhaps needlessly) while Gus is so giving even though he's totally naive about what's going on with Mattie. If you've read Pastor Gus, you understand what I'm talking about.
