When to give up on a Clown pair

What requirements do you guys have to give up on a pair and sell them or re-pair with other fish? I have a fancy Perc pair that the female Picasso is about 2.5+ years old and the male Platinum is about 2 years old. They have been together for 1.5+ years and have not bonded with eachother at all. This female couldn't care less about the male. She doesn't chase him, they occupy different areas of the tank. I also have a pair of Clarkii that aren't bonded. The Galaxy female is about 1.75 years old, and the ORA normal male is about 1.25 years old. They have been together for about 10 months. This pair is pretty young, but they aren't showing any signs of bonding. The female chases the male around a lot and generally acts like she doesn't like him. I'm wondering if I should try pairing these fish with other fish. If they haven't bonded after this time, is it unlikely they will be a good pair?
Don't let fear and common sense stop you! =]
