Hetero relationships in comics!

Which heterosexual relationships do you feel are handled the best in comics right now? Which seem like the most real to you? Who is writing the relationships that seem the most genuine to you about how heterosexuals interact with eachother? What are the worst? What are the most unrealsitc ones?

My favorite are the Cyclops/White Queen, and Lois/Clark dynamic. A lot of this probably has to with Cyclops and Superman being some of my favorite characters in comics. They both have qualities that I really look up to and would want to emulate. The women in their lives are really the best fit for them. Plus the relationships read to me like real heterosexual relationships, and are not just 2 straight people put together to just to do so.

I think The Scott/Emma dynamic is the best though, probably because she helps him bring to the service a lot of things he has repressed over he years because he did not think that was what the image he had presented to anybody would allow. She challenges him to true to who he is.

I also get a kick out of the Peter and MJ relationship in USM. Sure I do not have stress in my relationships because I go out at night swinging through the streets saving people, but I have laughed more than once empathizing with how MJ can go off the wall and cause Pet to just stare at her draw dropped over her reactions sometimes.

I hated the hook up between She Hulk and Juggernaut though. That screamed of just so much BS. These are both muscle people of course they will want to have sex. Please.

And don't get me started on Black Panther and Storm! Hey they are both black and hetero! Lets hook them up! Oh, there is absolutely no reason to have put them together other than them both being straight and black? We will just write up some after the fact story that shows they were childhood sweet hearts and everything will be OK.
So what about you?

Why limit this to hetero?

Anyway, I love Luke Cage and Jessica Jones.

Seconded on Mj/Peter and Cyclops/ Frost. I'll also add USM's Gwen and Peter. I mean, I just loved the story ar they went through. Heck, anything from USM should go here.
