Yeah unfortunately video games for me are pretty sparse for romantic relationships I can get invested in. What's there tends to clash with what I care about or there isn't enough there without making up a bunch of stuff. If I had to name it would be from when I was in High School (not so much now), that would be Marta and Emil from Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.
I think it had time to make an impression because of the typical length of a JRPG coupled with a lot of voice work to reinforce it. I was also predisposed to liking it because I can empathize with a more sensitive and introverted protagonist like Emil do it's nice to see him find happiness while becoming more assertive. Looking back now I'd struggle to call it THAT great because the characters and the relationship lack much depth.
The kissing scene was quite sweet I'll admit...

Persona 4's Naoto and Kanji were the first who came to mind. I wish that they had the balls to delve into some kind of trans issues with these two, but as-is, it was a cute relationship.
My runner-up couple was going to be Chise and a beef bowl.

Not many memorable games I've played where there are romances, unless it's the nameless PC and some companion NPC. But I think I'm going to mention an old-school (and wacky) one:
Guybrush Threepwood and Elaine Marley from the Monkey Island series.

Geralt and Yennifer from The Witcher 3. I know some fans are really strongly against this and would prefer Geralt pair off with Triss, but as someone who only entered the series from the third game, the relationship with Triss felt like a last minute tacked on distraction. So Geralt and Yen it is!
THIS IS ONLY A TEST...

Meis and Sodina from Thousand Arms because they seem made for each other.
