Mary and John

The relationship between John and Mary Winchester was a literal match made in Heaven---while John and Mary's relationship started out as a bad one, intervention by cupids, made it right. She craved normalcy after a life of fighting demons and other supernatural creatures and believed that John could give her the life that she craved. When John was killed by Azazel in 1973, she tearfully made a deal to save him, a deal that, while not giving up her soul, would still include a visit from the demon in ten years time, and as long as she did not interrupt him, no one would get hurt. She made the deal and John was brought back to life. She and John later married and settled in his hometown of Lawrence, Kansas. Even though cupids intervened in their relationship, the love John and Mary felt for each other was real and, just like the love they felt for each other, there were still dark periods in their relationship that resulted in John moving out--only to return a few days later. He is devastated beyond belief when she is killed in 1983 by a demon. This fact pushes him into the hunting lifestyle. Even nearly twenty-two years after her death, he still wears his wedding ring--as seen when he visits Missouri Mosely in Lawrence.
