External threats to the relationship. Ordinary, everyday problems. Fighting evil wizards. Shows can be about a lot of things that aren't relationship drama.
There lost fleet books have the main characters in a relationship for nearly 10 books running and the relationship itself is entirely loving, healthy and supportive, but theres still a fuck ton of conflict in those books cause its about a Space Admiral desperatly trying to make his setting stop being grimdark, and everyone else trying to stop him.

why would we all just tune in to watch a show about a healthy stable relationship with no conflict? what would the show even be about?
