Not necessarily. Platon and Socrates weren't a couple and his mourning and rememberance shaped the history of western thought. Student-teacher relationships can be very strong
LOL! I guess I'm not that good a teacher, then. Or at least I wasn't when I was...
I don't know a lot about Plato/Socrates' interaction outside of what I learned in PHIL 101, and that was in 2003...and my major was comp sci.
