Honestly.. No. I don't think Sophitz relationship is perfect. If anything, they are "ideal" and their relationship is almost like a fairy tale. Real relationships are not like that at all. Fitz comes from a famous family, and despite knowing her the longest out of their group of friends, he hardly struggled through the worst with Sophie. He's always there to sweep her off her feet whenever he smiles. Other than that one time she barfed on him, there's really nothing more to their relationship. And when he yelled at her back in book 2, he repeated it again in book 7, showing that he never really learned and grow from his past. He's the one that seems like a "perfect prince" (on the surface) and Sophie is the maiden that he successfully swept up.

Keefe and Sophie's relationship is more realistic. A real couple is suppose to be able to share the best and the worst of times together, and they're also each other's best and closest friends. They both shared so many dark times with each other, easily crying on each other's shoulders. They share what they considered to be embarrassing moments together, like when Sophie finds out Keefe wet his bed when she searched through his memories. They also tell each other secrets that nobody else knows about. And their fun times? Yep, together as well. Especially obvious in book 3, their two detention scenes with Lady Cadence and the one scene where they ran down into the cave to leave the Black Swan a message. Sure they argue, twice: in book 4 (when Sophie didn't tell Keefe about his mother's "I'm doing this for you" message) and in book 6 (when Keefe decided to fight the Ogre King before knowing that was what his mother planned), but they both grew from it. Sophie learned to always tell Keefe anything about his family and Keefe learn to not take everything upon his shoulders, including the fights.
