    I do find it ironic the editorial staff still seems to believe, "Oh noes we can't have a married Spider-Man-- or even one in a committed relationship-- won't someone think of the children!!!!" and yet give the book to a writer best known for a story in which a child begs for his life before his father rips him apart and eats him.
    Yep, that and Michelinie himself came around on the marriage after writing it a bit after initially just doing it because he was told. Then JMS said he loved writing them as married and was bummed with the mandate to end the marriage. We know Fraction was pro-marriage. Conway supported it even though he didn't know if he felt they should be and even wrote parallel lives which shows them as married and destined to be that way. He is the biggest Peter/MJ shipper of all. I guarantee there are lots of writers behind the scenes who want them married who keep quiet to protect themselves. Post-OMD there was tons of anit-marriage propaganda put out that only showed one side of the story on purpose. DeFaclco became pro marraige and wanted Peter to keep the child and be a father, ON RECORD. He is totally anti-OMD. With a few senior edtiors and execs anti-marriage, all the underlings have to keep quiet on the stance as they can't oppose their managers' stances.
