So, it's been one of the themes of the series that the biggest gift the light can bestow on its people is love. All of the major characters had a love interest in the series. Now with this being the last battle and all, we expected death. Pretty much indiscriminately. We were given death, but how strange is it that when death did arrive to those in love it took both parties, so no one was left to grieve alone. Maybe it's just me, but I find that really trite and to a large extent a cop out. The happily ever after for the survivors......ALL of them.

Lets look

Rand + 3 - All survive

Egwene + Gawyn - Both dead

Bashere and wife - Both dead

Nyaneave + Lan - 1 dead, but miraculously healed by Creator Rand, so both survived.

Mat + Tuon - Both Survied

Suian & Bryne - Both dead

Domon & Leilwin - Both survive

Loial and wife - both survive

Perrin and Faile - both survive

Berelain & Galad - Both survive

Acutlaly the only pair I can think of that don't conform to this are Rhuarc and Ayms. Are there any more?
