Another one:
Stannis & Melisandre - I don't even know how to classify magic vagina smoke babies..
Renly & Loras - Violence Involved (took a while, but eventually it has caused issue for Loras) (I wouldn't say their relationship caused Renly's death)
Robert Baratheon and Cersei

Amazingly, this may qualify as one of the most wholesome and unproblematic couplings. The other would be Drogo and Daenerys.
Guess what? Both of those couples' "relationships" started the exact same way that Sansa's and Ramsey's did. They didn't show Robert and Cersei on the screen but in the books, it is recalled, and the description isn't much different than Sansa/Ramsey, just subtract Theon from the mix. Hell, Drogo and Daenerys may be the "best" couple in this show, and that started out by Dany's brother basically selling her to a Dothraki Horselord, who married her and raped her in front of his whole Khal. (happened a little different than that in show)
I've seen reactions from people on twitter and facebook about this episode, saying that this is the last straw, and they're done with this series. Seriously? THIS is the last straw? You didn't see this coming? I mean, this is a show where the worst **** possible happens to the characters you like the most. If you didn't already have an inkling that this was where Sansa was heading, then you shouldn't have been watching this show to begin with.

Edit (stupid phone!)
Drogo and Dany? Not Ned and Catelyn?
In the very first episode, are the seven women who surround the "mad king" on his death bed, the same ones that just brought Cersei in?
The Mad King never makes an appearance in Game of Thrones...he was killed by the Kingslayer something like 10 years before the events in the first episode of GoT. So, I'm not sure what you're talking about...
Loved this episode. Lots of good storyelines bearing fruit. Sam finally gets with Gilly, Cersei gets her desevrings, and Tyrion meets Dany. The rest of this season is going to be turned up a few notches, I'm guessing.
