Going all the way back to something Carry said, I have to take issue with something regarding Gray and Juvia. Don't get me wrong, I agree with almost everything she said about their current status as a pair, but the one thing that bugged me was that she said how much she liked the before the timeskip.

Looking back, they barely even had a relationship before s-class trials. And even then, I don't really think that the Gruvia moments that they had there are even close to impactful as, say, Gray actually showing jealousy for the first time. Their unison raid. Gray sacrificing his life. Chapter 366. Their little cameo in the sabertooth special chapter. And of course 413 days.

So while I agree that their relationship is not anywhere as close as meaningful as Jerza, I have to say that it wasn't till after the timeskip that I actually noticed a relationship at all. Just my opinion.
