Sparissa

Sparissa (Sp/encer + M/arissa is the pairing of Marissa Benson and Spencer Shay. It is also referred to as "Marisser" ). (Mariss/a + Spenc/er)

Marissa and Spencer have a mutual respect for each other, although sometimes Spencer seems afraid of her. Marissa thinks Spencer is a nutcase (which most people do, to some degree) and has insulted him on occasion. However, Marissa sometimes shows concern for Spencer. She tells him to do things and to take care of himself like a mother would do. It is possible that she has feelings for him. It also seems like they have an "opposites-attract" relationship. Marissa is uptight, strict and overprotective of her son, Freddie Benson while Spencer is fun, carefree and is somewhat loose with the rules when it comes to his younger sister, Carly Shay. They were engaged to be married in Carly's iChristmas fantasy.

It can be consider a love/hate relationship, for the two sometimes having a dislike for each other.
