Slytherin Relationships

I have been thinking about the dynamics in the relationships of 
folks who attended Hogwarts as members of Slytherin House. We can 
assume that members of other houses have normal feeling and 
relationships with their friends, spouses, children, etc. Of course, 
the Ravenclaws might seem a bit aloof because of their high 
intelligence and *thinking type* personality, but basically they are 
capable of love and feeling of affection like all the rest.  But 
what of the Slytherins?  I was watching a skating show today where a 
couple was acting as two sinister characters and the dynamics 
between them made me think of Bella and her husband.  I am thinking 
that when two Slytherin marry it must be like 2 snakes. Each with a 
certain cold respect for the other, a mutual understanding of like 
personalities. A member of any other house could never find 
happiness with a Slytherin, because the Slytherin would eat them 
alive, so to speak.  Others would be too sensitive, heart on sleeve 
types, for a Slytherin. Any thought?
