Here's some info from Dkfoundation:
Venus

By Transit

When Venus transits the house of which it is the natural ruler a person tends to become very responsive to others. At this time their opinions and responses tend to become increasingly important, and self-worth becomes more closely bound than usual with their approval.

A person who is not in an intimate relationship at this time may feel this absence very keenly and may become very concerned with trying to find a partner.

In his dealings with associates and partners of all kinds, a person tends to be more amenable and complacent under this transit.

Pluto

By Transit

A transit of Pluto to the 7th House has the effect of exposing the unconscious patterns, which are at work in a person’s relationships.

As with any Plutonian activity anywhere in the chart, its effects can be chaotic and traumatic in the 7th House. Yet, because Pluto, when acting through H7, so often has the effect of challenging the comforting belief that another has the power to ‘make things right’ this transit can be productive of particularly painful situations. This is made even more likely if H7 is tenanted.

Uranus, when it transits H7, can be equally disruptive, but Uranian energy is more sassy and makes a person receptive to those changes, which it is effecting. Pluto undertakes only to expose the sabotaging patterns, and offer a person the opportunity to understand the fears and complexes, which affect the way he approaches his relationships.

The overall pattern of the chart, together with the nature of the planets that tenant H7, will indicate whether the dominant fear a person experiences in his relationships, is the possibility of abandonment and rejection or a loss of individual freedom, and whether this fear is likely to result in a controlling behaviour or a willingness to be controlled.

Some more info on Pluto and Venus-Pluto affecting the relationship sector (cafeastrology.com):
Venus-Pluto: desire total commitment and intimacy with their partners. They may attempt to control or possess their partners, or they attract partners who are controlling. They can be quite dramatic about their affections.

Pluto: can signify a person who totally identifies with their relationships, sometimes to the point of obsession. In their attempts to control the direction of their relationships, they can create dependencies in both themselves and their partners. They may fear being abandoned, and go to great lengths to keep their partner attached to them. This fear can be a self-fulfilling prophecy, as the very methods they may use to keep their partner attached to them may drive their partner away in the end. The need to experience an intense attachment is present. Manipulativeness may be a theme. When we manipulate our partners, we are effectively telling ourselves that we cannot affect our environments in a healthy, direct way, and we undermine ourselves as well as others. We fear that we are ineffective. When we strive for power in our relationships, we may tell ourselves that we are looking for ways to get closer to our mates, but in fact we are actually alienating ourselves from them. However, a positive expression of Pluto as a significator of relationships is the ability to attain intimacy and intensity without the need for subversive tactics.

Here's something that may answer your question (source: http://therealastrology.com/HTML/ASKKEVIN/990215a.html)
"No, Pluto does not necessarily carry issues of infidelity or betrayal with it. It can, of course, but it’s not an interpretation that I would think of under normal circumstances. When Pluto transits Venus, we often experience a period where our relationships become far more intense. What is being challenged here are our values and our ideas of how relationships are structured. Relationships can certainly go through rough times when one partner is having a Pluto-Venus transit, but just as often, this can be a time when the emotional connection grows significantly deeper."

Of course any aspects that Pluto makes while transiting your 7th House will modify its meaning to some extent.

I don't consider the inner planets in transits, because their time in a house is relatively short.
