Joe Q's been saying in no uncertain terms that he dislikes Peter Parker being married as the status quo. He sees their 1987 as an empty publicity stunt of it's time, yet fails to see how Black Panther & Storm's marriage was exactly that; at least when MJ "reappeared" in the late 80's, she and Peter had a long, established history. Yes, the marriage happened quickly, but much as like many well known comic marriages, like Lois & Clark, Reed & Sue, and Scott & Jean, it had that "it's about time" quality to it. T'Challa and Ororo, by contrast, had a lone MTU story from 1980, which had to be embellished with retcons. The pair seemed slapped together because they are both regal characters from Africa more than anything else, which felt insulting and poorly handled. Rather than attempt to blossum a romance, their destiny was presumed.
Joe Q has also stated that divorcing Peter or breaking them up via death (which happened 5-7 years ago, Mackie's last gasp) would be worse than keeping them married. But considering the guy has at times bragged about his ablity to mislead the internet audience for his own gain, it makes it hard to take a lot of his words seriously. For good or ill.
In my case, I can't make the "fanboy threat" to dump the book should they seperate. I essentially parted ways with ASM and most of the Spider-Books in the mid 90's during the Clone Mess, because that felt like they were taking Spider-Man away from his roots, jumped the final shark and moved him in an opposite direction from what I liked. So aside for sporatic buys and flip throughs, that is where I have been. I've gotten ASM for the CW tie in's, but I'm likely gone when they are done.
Of course, as others have said, if Joe Q himself is drawing it, expect delays.
What is funny is that USM was seemingly created to tailor make the perennial young, single teenager that Joe Q and Marvel wanted, and now that theory has been tossed to the wind.

Sometimes Marvel gets it right, and other times they get it so damn wrong that it's shocking, it makes Sentry & The Void look like happy twins.

I find him and US Agent are just copy cat's of original and better characters. I like the color scheme better, not particularly fond of red and gold, but otherwise Tony is much better.
