'Lethal Weapon': Why won't the show let anyone other than Murtaugh find love?

Lethal Weapon has for the longest time, behaved like Martin Riggs and Wesley Cole are incapable of keeping a relationship going and that they are too complex to have love.

Trish and Roger Murtaugh are, without a doubt, 'Lethal Weapon's power couple. Unfortunately, that's the only lasting love story the show has been able to give us. Ever wonder why is it that no one else seems to be in love like Roger is? The show has, for the longest time, behaved like Martin Riggs and Wesley Cole are incapable of keeping a relationship going and that they are too complex to have a little love. Considering the hearts-of-gold the two characters are, it is absolutely appalling that 'Lethal Weapon' still won't let them be happy.   

Martin Riggs and Miranda 

This is the most tragic thing to have ever happened to Roger Murtaugh's former partner Martin Riggs. His wife Miranda was killed in a car crash when she was on her way to the hospital to deliver their child. She gets distracted and ends up being in a lethal accident. Years later, Riggs finds out that her death hadn't been an accident at all - it was an ordered hit from Tito Flores of the Flores drug cartel. Miranda was the daughter if District Attorney Ronnie Delgado and he tells Riggs in the season 1 finale that he didn't want to help Flores get away with the drug charges and he killed his daughter for revenge.
