Yup.
That's exactly what i'm talking about. I said 'relationships'; everyone else seem's to have presumed 'girlfriends'.
While I am blissfully and ridiculously happily married (not really, but we've been together so long I just refer to my Better Half as my wife), that part life would make for some f*****g boring drama. The biggest conflict that's been had in the past six weeks is somewhere between what colour to paint the spare room or what we were having for dinner last Thursday.
What you said above about ephemeral conflicts goes double for Clark and Lois because now that they're married, they won't ever split.
Supermans relationship with his wife is solid. He's not really going to have other people come into his life and get that close anymore. He will have no other confidant other than his wife ever again; a person who won't challenge or hold him to account the way someone who isn't so vested in him could. He's never going to be lonely and he'll always have someone to come home to. They won't fall out, separate or divorce. Lois won't die
While it is lovely, I don't think that the loss of potential drama is worth it.
EDIT: To get back on topic; Lois as a character, in and of herself, has got to be one of, if not the best female character in comics.
