Most realistic TV ships??

Over the years, many of us here have griped up how "unrealstic" it was for the MSR to drag on for so long before Mulder and Scully finally began doing the naked pretzel together. And I've made similar comments about the long, drawn-out romances of other TV couples, such as Mac and Harm on "JAG."
So, for this post, instead of whining, I thought we could discuss TV shows that got it *right*. What TV couples do you think had relationships that progressed in ways that at least vaguely resembled real life?
There are a couple of couples I'd like to nominate:
1.) Lee and Amanda on "Scarecrow and Mrs. King" back in the 1980s. This show lasted for four seaons and they were married during the final season. Considering that when they first met she had *just* gotten divorced from her first husband, it seemed pretty realistic that it took them three seasons before they moved their relationship to a new level.
2.) Bud and Harriet on "JAG". While Mac and Harm were the "main ship" and got all the attention, there was a secondary ship on this show in the couple of Bud and Harriet. Bud and Harriet met in the second season, got married near the end of the fourth season and -- by the time of the series finale -- they had four children.
