This is a theory that has been thrown around a while now. Some fans suggest that Jon upon learning of his true parentage discovering that he and Sansa are actually first cousins that he will marry her. There are pros and cons to that theory.

| At some point I don't even blink when this show does incest anymore. |
Sound Political Sense
Being that Jon is technically a Targaryen and Sansa is a Stark it would be great to bring these two great houses together to help heal old wounds started by Rhaegar's abduction of Lyanna and Robert's Rebellion. Also it would keep the North close to the Iron Throne as it did with Dorne. The alliance/ friendship of Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark helped to hold the kingdom together so there is no reason why it shouldn't work the same way between Daenerys and Jon. Though one may also argue it would make more political sense for Jon to marry Daenerys since he has a legitimate claim to the Iron Throne; stronger since he is a boy. She's his aunt and incestuous marriages were a practice of the Targaryens.

Jon and Sansa's Relationship
One assumes that even when Jon does discover that he and Sansa are actually cousins that he'll be open to marriage with her in the first place. Despite their estranged relationship in their childhood that doesn't mean Jon never stopped seeing Sansa as his little sister. Another thing is that Sansa was raped and abused by Ramsay so it's also unlikely she'd be open to any sort of marriage at the moment. True her wounds will heal and she may be open to let herself love someone but I don't see her running to Jon. It would feel more awkward. (Not everyone wants to have sex with their siblings you know.)

| I feel weird shipping them |
Someone pointed out Jon likes red heads (Ros and Ygritte). So? A guy can date blonds but that doesn't mean he's not going to fall in love with a brunette.
Another point was made that Sansa dreamed of marrying a prince and ruling beside him. It's what she's wanted so it feels like foreshadowing. And? If there's one thing this series has taught us is just because we want something to happen doesn't mean we're going to get it. No one wanted Hodor, Rob Stark, Khal Drogo, etc to die but they did. Arya wanted to see her brother and mother again but they were murdered. Yes it could be a foreshadowing but I'll believe that when I see it.
Sansa's Still Married
Probably the one thing people are forgetting is that consummated or not, Sansa and Tyrion are STILL married. Making her previous marriage to Ramsay unlawful! Even though it was (brutally and violently) consummated that doesn't mean it was legal. I don't think Westeros does divorce in any case. Maybe annulments but we'll see if Tyrion and Sansa want to get an annulment. Most likely yeah. Though that doesn't mean Sansa will jump to marry Jon. Someone else said that Sansa was okay with marrying her other first cousin Robyn Arryn. Again. So? It would have been another sexless marriage probably. Marrying a simpleton like Robyn would have been a walk in the park for Sansa.
Perhaps the writers will experiment with this idea and have Sansa develop confusing romantic feelings for her "brother" and maybe Jon for her. Though I'll wait for season 7 to see if they do.
