What I mean is I hate how obvious it is that couples are signed together as an arrangement rather than the actor being chosen because they are the best for the part. Case in point: Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck, Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh, Helena Bonham Carter and Kenneth Branagh, Helena Bonham Carter being in every Tim Burton (husband) movie. I could go on and on. It's so transparent. Negotiations were done in order to get the boyfriend/girlfried or husband/wife on location with them. I'm not saying these actors aren't good in their own right, I just hate having them paired up for convenience.
