I think that this was a surprising relationship added to the story. Much like Snow and Charming, they will always find their way back to each other. Belle is definitely the stronger of the two, only because Rumple doesn't believe that he is deserving of her love. He believes he has done too much bad for anyone to truly love. Fortunately, she will be there with him to 表示する him he isn't bad, and how great 愛 is.
