Melizabeth.
There is a concept that I love to work with when I write fanfictions and/or play with the idea of cursed lovers in a similar situation Meliodas and Elizabeth have, and I feel like that detail might add just a little another layer to the story (and their trauma).
In the case of Elizabeth and Meliodas, it would take the form of a natural way to break the curse. When I say natural, I mean not by using offensive magic against the curses, like they did in the series. Usually, it takes the form of a task, something to bring to the god you've pissed off, a set of actions to earn forgiveness or something like this.
But I say, we make them suffer.
I like my stories and fanfictions salty.
And I don't care if I go against canon. I'm writing this. I'm captain here.
Elizabeth wasn't cursed to love Meliodas. It's a test her mother set out to break the curse. If she falls in love, the curse goes on. If she doesn't, it breaks.
Meliodas wasn't cursed to indefinitely love Elizabeth. It's a test his father set out to break the curse. If he stays in love, the curse goes on. If he falls out, the curse breaks.
The supreme deity probably thought that a different background would make her daughter "see sense," but Elizabeth keeps falling in love with Meliodas no matter what her life looked like before, because he's a lovable goof ball with too much love to give.
The Demon King probably thought that the pain her deaths brought him would eventually make him fall out of love because it would be the most effective way to make the pain stop. But Meliodas can't stop loving her. Even without his emotions, he loves her because the joy she brings to him is worth every bit of pain he feels because of the curse.
That would make their story so much more beautiful because not only would it strengthen their bond, but it would also make a perfect example of: "When you love someone, you're by their sides for the laughters, the 3 a.m panick attacks and the sobbing messes."
Bonus points if good/original representation of magic and/or minorities (queer, neurodivergent, dys, indigenous...).
