OMG I was thinking of arranged marriage too (the other best trope ever) but didn't mention it because it's kind of tough to force them into ;) But we can do this! After all, Peggy got so far as engagement during the war and she gets married later. I love the idea of deep cover in Russia and they're like, we'll totally get it annulled in 6 months when this is over, it's not a big deal, we can both deal with it (whether they say this out loud or not), we don't have any romantic feelings it will be fine/I detest this arrangement but it's Necessary and I have always dealt with the hard stuff if needed, and then it turns out...oops.
Oh and I forgot one more thing!! I love that Jack really appreciates Peggy's skills. Like in A Sin To Err, he is waiting at the back of the automat because he says he told the DC guys she'd be able to overpower them. Of course, he still doesn't quite get it because she literally says "I'm sorry, Jack" and overpowers him in 5 seconds flat (and leaves him lying there LOL) but then later when they find her passed out in the hallway, he insists on putting the cuffs on even when Daniel's like "is that necessary?" and Jack just goes "believe me, it's necessary". He also never tries overpowering her ever again, I think - learned a lesson there. (Also that it's really hard to have leverage on Peggy, lol. His attempts to get her to stop what he thinks is a wild goose chase in s2 mostly consist of him trying to use reason/lecture/begging her to stop and get on a plane back to NYC)
