Having read franchise books before (Tarzan books, all 24 or so original ones) when a character marries and has a family, there's a problem after the first years or so, when everyone says, "Aw, cute!" Then further along in the series, the young ones mature and have their own families, but the emphasis lies on the Original Couple.

And then there are all the aging problems with an action hero ...
