On Chiaroscuro something like six couples have recently got engaged to be married. Meanwhile, one of my chars in an IC arranged marriage has just had her husband accused of treason and imprisoned for life.
A marriage is a long-term roleplaying partnership, to my mind -- at least if you engage in one with another PC. What would make such a partnership sucessful for you? what would make you unhappy with it, OOCly?
I think my biggest worry about this sort of thing is the opposite player disappearing and leaving a hole where I used to be stimulated towards char development. If the other player leaves, you either have to imagine what their char is doing 'back home' and have your char react appropriately, end the marriage (and given mu* turnover, have a lot of short marriages), or some other option.
What other options have you used? Do youy even bother? I'm curious.
