If you form a bipartite graph from a stable matching instance, with an edge for each pair that can participate in a stable matching, what graphs can you get? They are matching-covered, but \(\mathsf{NP}\)-hard to recognize, and their structure is related to the structure of the lattice of stable matchings of the same instance.
