Round Table - To Marry, or not to marry... that is the question...

Good Sunday to you all.  We had a really fun week with First Meetings, and I believe we may still have one or two stories that will be posted today or tomorrow on that theme.  I enjoyed all of it and hope you did as well.
Today I was thinking about, well you can see it at the top.  Marriage.  Concerning the guys, that is.  Should they marry?  Do they marry in your world?  I have always tended to keep them single and available, a selfish move on my part but it works.  Others have created scenarios, entire worlds, where the men marry and have a family, sometimes leading to danger and intrigue of an entirely different nature from what we read and see in non-marital stories.
The two series devoted to that life with which I am familiar are that of [livejournal.com profile] rosywonder and [livejournal.com profile] mrua7.  Both of them have written novella length accounts of these affairs of the heart, and in fact [livejournal.com profile] mrua7 is posting hers now in [livejournal.com profile] mfu_map_room.  
So, the question remains, do you like the married with children scenario?  Are you, like me, still primarily happy with single vision? I'd like to know where you stand, how you view this and why, if you can nail that down.

I agree about the difference between canon and original characters. I find the Innocents specifically (most of them, anyway) to be very blah. The villains always seem to be more fleshed out and therefore more interesting (which I'm sure I don't have to tell you)! :D

Yes, they have such a wide collection of fun and fascinating villains! :)

I do like some of the good guy guest-stars, and my view can definitely be colored if they're played by actors I like. ;)

The right actor or actress can definitely make a difference.
