Yes. They belong together.
Marvel can't let couples with a less significant history stay apart. Does anyone really believe they'll allow Scott and Jean go their separate ways?
Many people talk about how horrible it is for them to be together, but they don't seem to consider the damage they might be inflicted by on-again-off-again dynamics, that would certainly be forced on them as long as they're both alive. Characters who are caught in this mess always end up looking childish at best. And that's when the writer doesn't decide to actually make one of them really screw up to justify the break-up. Since the 60s, they've been written as people who know what they want and try to do the right thing and be good persons.
For me that silly dynamics played for cheap drama is fate worse than death for either of them.

No character’s development depends exclusively on another’s. While I’m enjoying how they are currently being written as a couple, I believe Jean and Scott are strong enough characters on their own to exist and thrive independently of each other. This has been proven time and again. Besides, they weren’t a couple until years into their debuts.
They are not related as far as what I have seen in the comics. I think he might be canonically related to Gateway. I'm not 100% on that though and I could be making that up. Not sure where I heard that. Anyway, he and Jean would be pretty in-the-clear from what we have seen so far.

I believe they can thrive independently too, Mercury. I've said many times that if they are to be split, I wish the writers would burn those romantic bridges down forever. I'm fine with their being best friends only.
What I don't believe is that writers would actually do that. Someone would want to put them together again, only for the next writer to split them apart. And that would be terrible.

How many lovers has Scott had? Anyone know?
I seem to recall Scott and Colleen "dating" at one point, although, I honestly don't recall if it was platonically casual, the occasional hook-up, or a more serious romantic deal.
Edit: How is everyone leaving the Phoenix Entity off of this list? I mean if the retcon holds that the Dark Phoenix wasn't actually Jean, then ....?
They were dating at one point when Scott thought Jean was dead, but in the aftermath of that arc it was stated to be platonically casual (as Scott explained to the telepathic Jean - if he was lying to her at that point I think she would have noticed) with Colleen wanting it to progress further. Later writers have put their own spins on it, and I'm not sure how far they progressed in the current canon.
For point two - having sex with someone while pretending to be someone else is....well, it's something that can lead to criminal charges depending on where you live....so....yeah. And since Phoenix canon gets changed every single time that Flaming Cosmic Turkey makes a new appearance, Jean is well rid of that thing. Let's just let her be a top tier powerhouse on her own merits.
Dark does not mean deep.
