The only other relationship with that level is loyalty is Hades and Persephone. There's only one story of Hades having a lover (Minthe) after making Persephone his queen, and even then his feelings for her vary depending on which version you read. Compare that to Zeus and Hera (Zeus sleeps with anything that has a pulse), or Hephaestus and Aphrodite (Aphrodite resents being married to the ugly and crippled Hephaestus and frequently seeks the company of other lovers), and you'll find Hades and Persephone are easily the most functional relationship among the Greek gods.
