In 2007, the four-part story "One More Day" in the Spider-Man comics saw Peter (Spider-Man) Parker and Mary Jane Watson-Parker give up their marriage and have it erased from existence in order to save the life of Peter's dying aunt, May Parker. Since then, the Spider-Man comics have had several changes, such as new love interests for both characters and having Peter and Mary Jane dating again under writer Nick Spencer's run of "The Amazing Spider-Man" comics.  During Nick Spencer's run, Peter was planning to propose to Mary Jane, while the finale of the "Beyond" storyline had Peter and Mary Jane agreeing to move in together.  Both Peter's proposal and Peter agreeing to move in with Mary Jane were met with positive reactions by fans and fans were hoping to see both happen in the Spider-Man comics.

However, Marvel broke up Peter and Mary Jane yet again in the monthly "The Amazing Spider-Man" comics with the #1 issue of its sixth volume under Editor In Chief C.B. Cebulski, Editor Nick Lowe and current writer Zeb Wells.  Peter has since become an ineffective fighter incapable of defeating his own villains on his own, including the Vulture, without the aid and tech of his current boss and ally Norman Osborn (also known as the Green Goblin, the man who killed his girlfriend, his clone and his baby daughter), while Mary Jane is currently in a relationship with a man named Paul Rabin and helped raise two kids with him that called her "Mommy" before they vanished.  Mary Jane has barely interacted with Peter in Zeb Wells' current run and, when they do interact, Mary Jane is written out of character and not getting along with Peter.

While there are a majority of fans who hate that their marriage was erased to begin with in the infamous "One More Day" storyline and who wish to see the Spider-Marriage return, Marvel Comics has refused to listen to its fans by keeping Peter single and either writing Mary Jane out of character or writing her out of the book for her own mini or ongoing series.  We, the fans, are tired of the jabs at "One More Day", the false starts, and using the romance of Peter and Mary Jane as a sales gimmick and breaking the couple up yet again for shock value and to boost sales of the comics.  We, the fans, hope to see the marriage of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson permanently return in the classic, original, 616 Marvel Universe, though with Peter's secret identity still not public knowledge.  We, the fans, would like to see Marvel to finally, permanently bring the marriage of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson(-Parker) back to continuity in the monthly comics.
