Naruto x Sakura - A train wreck. It's really gone downhill since the Kage Summit. Since then Kishi has shoved down our throats that Sakura loves Sasuke and not Naruto. Naruto's own feelings for Sakura are iffy at best now. And to think, this was actually developing well.
Sasuke x Sakura - An epic disaster. Yes, Sakura still loves Sasuke, but Kishi actually portrays this as extremely negative. Look at her reaction when the injured Rock nin makes a play for her and she she thinks about Sasuke. This pairing is beyond hope and would only insult the audience if Kishi bothered to reform Sasuke to the point where it can happen.
Shikamaru x Temari - Everyone's safe "canon" pairing. Well Kishi ruined this too. A perfect side pairing with enough hints that carried into Shippuden. Then Kishi doesn't have them interact for about 6 years and even introduces a new girl to be Shikamaru's Hinata. Recently this started up again as they were placed on the same team for the war. Folks on 2ch say Kishi may be forced to do this pairing by his editors even though he doesn't want to. The fact that he might be forced to do a relationship that is such a no brainer speaks volumes.
The rest of the romances don't matter unless you were really sitting around waiting for Kishi to do crack like Kiba x Hinata. And I don't care about dead couples since Kishi is very good at writing romance when someone is dead.
Tsunade was never married to Dan. She was engaged. And that wasn't her kid. It was her little brother.
