LOL, I forgot about that too actually!
You know, when they were initially married, I actually liked it, they seemed a good fit to me. Tyrion is smart, good, loving and would be a respectful husband to Sansa. He is perfect for her as he does not fit her initial embodiment of a Prince like Geoffrey was and unfortunately for her, she had to find out the hard way that all her aesthetic romantic dreams of a brave handsome Knight/Prince are not realistic. In Tyrion, she has all those moral character illusions she dreamt of, but packaged in a Dwarf, not the tall handsome Prince she fantasized about. Tyrion on his side, as strong and as cunning he is, they are all a facade for a vulnerable good man who wishes to belong and to be loved. He is attracted to vulnerable women he has or can save/protect despite his stature which is why he has fallen for those 2 women who were not up to the standards of his family. Sansa is a noble woman, young, beautiful, and tall (much taller than he and even other men - this is just in the show of course) and now she presents a facade of strength and cunning which like Tyrion is true but is also a facade to protect that vulnerability within. Tyrion has seen her before the transformation, knows what she has been through and can empathize with her as he himself has been subjected to ridicule, mockery, and underestimation for almost all of his life. In her, he can find that woman child to protect yet in her he can also find that compatibility in their background, in their shared experiences, and still have enough differences to help/improve/assist one another.
Actually I still like them together but I also see her compatibility with Jon because if Jon is to be the King, the Targaryan-Stark King, I cannot see him settled with Dany alone:
1. she is sterile and the Kingdom would need an heir to stabilize the Kingdom and strengthen both the Targaryan and Stark bloodlines in the throne.

2. Even if by some miracle, she becomes fertile, given the genetic predisposition of the Targaryan (due to generations of inbreeding) to Madness, I wouldn't want the next Targaryan generation to have the same issues and thus make their House unstable. Targaryans need new blood, initial cousin marriages pose little to no genetic abnormalities in their offsprings unless it is continued for generations which limits the genepool.
So I guess I have impressed the Dune concept of two wife marriages to Jon, one to marry as a political alliance and another for the continuance of the bloodline. So I see Sansa as a good candidate for wife #2 in that it will after thousands of years strengthen the Stark Household and put one on the throne despite a Targaryan sigil.
Either way, I really had forgotten about Sansa's marriage to Tyrion that tbh, I would still like to see and perhaps for both their sakes prefer. I prefer a Jon/Sansa marriage simply because I would finally like to see the Starks stronger and more powerful than the other Houses.

I think Jon Snow would make a brooding, miserable husband. Especially as Danny would insist on making all the decisions. He'd just stare out tower windows...

Married to Dany, maybe but married to someone he loves, I see him to be like Ned actually. Robb was more like Brandon, Ned's brother.
You know Jon and Dany would have a lot of differences in opinion especially regarding torture and burning or crucifixions.

Well, yes, Jon is much more into beheading or beating someone to a pulp than burning or crucifying…

Jon Snow seems too sensitive for Mother of Dragons Daneiris. She's the type who would never want to go on a vacation. And he'd be stuck changing all the kids' diapers.
I think he would cry a lot.
