Henrik Karlsson asks

What is a good book or film that charts the trajectory of a profoundly healthy and transformational relationship?

Twitter link here.  Well people?  Popular romances don’t count, try to get as close to “the canon” as you can.

I found this question difficult.  GPT-4 listed a bunch of inappropriate, not actually so wholesome answers from Victorian literature, and then for a film cited Her (bravo to that actually, but still not a good answer).  A Beautiful Mind made that movie list as well.

I rewatched Casablanca lately on a large screen, and concluded that Rick was wanting Ilsa to suffer as much as possible.

Can you do better?
