Established Couples

Where the main couple (or a supporting couple with either quite some screen time or with at least one main character in the coupling) are already married or dating at the start of the drama and the story is about them growing within the relationship and facing challenges together rather than the typical falling in love arc

Does NOT include: Arranged marriages, forced marriages, contract marriages, etc. With only the exception that they've been married for a while and/or already fell in love.
