/Yes, that's One Day More, accursed story. (Marriage makes people boring, my fanny! Why are relationships always used for cheap drama in comics?)/
Because they can't think of other ways to make the stories interesting? I don't know. As for the "marriage makes people boring" statement, I don't see how it would be boring, since very often in comics, characters change love interests as frequently as they change their socks. Happy, long-lasting marriages are not that common in comics (at least not from what I've read and/or seen), so if anything, I'd think that the novelty would be interesting. Also, those who say that forget that couples can do things *together.* Married couples can go on adventures together, fight crime, and do all the things that superheroes do while still being married. And they don't have to both be superheroes, either. Mary Jane and Lois Lane may not have superpowers, but they can still manage to help out.
Although, if one were to look at it more cynically, one could say that, given the practically pornographic depiction of women in some comics, that those comics are really just soap operas/porn with magic and science fiction thrown in and that's why the characters are so romantically fickle.
