Spy Couple

"98. If an attractive young couple enters my realm, I will carefully monitor their activities. If I find they are happy and affectionate, I will ignore them. However if circumstance have forced them together against their will and they spend all their time bickering and criticizing each other except during the intermittent occasions when they are saving each others' lives at which point there are hints of sexual tension, I will immediately order their execution."

- The Evil Overlord List, promoting the minimum of paranoia necessary for large scale nefarious activity

Alice and Bob are your average married couple. They're young, athletic, and easy on the eyes; they tend to argue loudly and often in a manner that just oozes Belligerent Sexual Tension; and they're frequently embroiled in circumstances that endanger their lives and force them to set aside their differences for the greater good.

...wait a moment, that doesn't sound right.

The Spy Couple is the Odd Couple done by way of Spy Drama and frequently used as a means of comedy, which naturally necessitates that it be a bit on the lighter side compared to most other spy drama, though there's still potential for the drama side to be more 'genuine'.

Real Life

 * It has been known for the wives of CIA agents to assist their husbands on ops. In the dehumanizing eyes of authority, the wife is effectively an agent and the husband is The Handler. With due allowances made for the mundane Real Life of espionage, it can actually resemble this trope, not least if the couple are close. However, there is a dark side in that the unofficial status of CIA wives can give The Government an excuse for ingratitude.
 * This, of course, refers to situations when only one is officially employed. The record doesn't seem to show many cases where both are officially employed and used in a team, though that does not mean it never happens (this is, after all, espionage we're talking about). See Spies Wives for more information.
 * Additionally, the agent may be married to someone else who has government business, and they may support each other (if sometimes unwittingly) that way. Valerie Plame, for instance, is married to Joe Wilson, a career Foreign Service Officer.
 * A spouse or family member of a career diplomat engaging in espionage actually isn't rare, as these people have diplomatic immunity. It would be more of a surprise if a major embassy were not spying on the host nation.
 * Of the ten Russian spies arrested in the USA in 2010, eight were married spy couples.
 * Hu Simeng and Horst Gasde were a married couple in Berlin who acted as triple agents and played every agency in the area for fools.
