To be honest, OP, I'm thrilled that Benson and Stabler never did hook up. I so respect TPTB for not kowtowing to some of the fans' request for it and that they didn't ever have Eliot divorce his wife (and seriously, some of the so-called fans' hate and disdain for Kathy was a little alarming at times) just so he could be with Liv.

As much chemistry as Chris and Mariska have together, that they never hooked up showed respect for both Eliot's marriage and marriage in general. There are so few strong, happy marriages on TV right now, and I always found it refreshing that, while they certainly had problems, Eliot loved his wife and actually wanted to stay married to her. I realize it's a TV show, but I still appreciated that the show generally respected Elliot's marriage vows.

Actually, that's part of the reason I just never could see them as a couple. It would be so out of character for him to leave his wife for Liv and/or cheat on Kathy with her. The show presents Eliot as a — for the most part — good Catholic who respects, and generally adheres to, the teachings of the church. Not only that, but he's shown to be a good man as well (albeit one with a rage problem at times, but still a good man at the end of the day). Given that, I just can't see him hooking up with Liv on the side or divorcing his wife to be with her.

That doesn't even touch on how incompatible I think they'd be personality-wise. Working well together on the job does not translate to working well together as a couple. Trust me, I've seen it first hand.

Not to mention, that's also not touching on how affected their on-the-job partnership would be by their off-the-clock relationship. What if they got into a fight? That could easily get one or both of them killed in the field. We've already seen what happens when they have tension and anger between them as partners – it almost got Olivia shot or, worse, killed. Imagine how magnified that'd be by a boyfriend-girlfriend fight.

All that said, again, I do realize this is a TV show, and I probably shouldn't care that much. I've just had debates/discussions with people about this topic, so I tend to be ready with this argument. :)

Totally this! I love that they didn't 'hook up' - it just would not have worked, and would have been totally OOC for them. They rock as partners - they don't need sex in the mix.
