In theory, this would be fine by me. In real life application, I don't know many shows that manage to actually do this well. Granted, I haven't seen any of the shows OP has in the secret? But a LOT of shows try to pull this off and fail to do it, so I think there's a very sound basis for disliking or at least being wary about couples getting together in canon. I'd say that there's probably a significant link between how big a deal the romance is in the show vs. how badly the show does after the "will they won't they" tension is resolved.

Agreed. The problem is that most shows feel the need to replace the sexual tension either with some other manufactured conflict between the characters, an external conflict that is usually awful (they’re happily married! Wait, now one has cancer!) or babies. I like babies, but not when they suddenly become the major storyline in a previously baby-free procedural. It’s not that most people hate watching happy couples doing their couple thing. It’s that most writers hate writing them, so you get this crap instead.
