To my way of thinking, if you're going to have Peter and Mary Jane be married, why not just explore the possibilities of them becoming parents? The whole miscarriage of baby May, then leaving it hanging, then the whole "(Aunt) May is alive" has become one the most infamous unresolved plotlines along with "Who is F.A.C.A.D.E.?" and "What was Peter mystery illness in The Other: Evolve or Die?"
But the fact is, Marvel has been scared of Peter growing up, even though that's what the character has been about since the beginning, and has often used the marriage as a scapegoat for the comic problems (Of course NEVER blaming themselves). Heck the whole clone saga and the reboot took place as a means of somehow removing the Spider-marriage from the titles and it seems, with Joe Q's comments about the marriage, the upcoming mini from JMS to ironically "fix" Spider-Man, and the recent public unmasking, it looks like we're being set-up yet again for another stab at permanently removing the marriage.
Since killing or divorce would make Peter older (he's supposed to be young, young, young! says Marvel's drumbeat) seems like will have some kind of mindwipe which will simultaneously restore Peter's secret identity in which everyone--including MJ--forgets, as make everyone except Peter forget that he and MJ were ever married.
