I usually drop the novel as soon as the couple gets together unless there're very few chapters left. Most novel readers don't do this but I don't think that my dislike of the 'post-marriage' journey is weird.
In TV show fandoms, the most popular couples are often the non-official ones, the pairs who have a lot of chemistry but will never get together on screen. Many fans will lose interest and stop watching the show once the couple they like becomes official and turns lovey-dovey. The story after is simply just not as interesting as the story before. There're many paths with twists and turns in the wooing period to get to the destination but the aftermath is mostly the same. There're few variations when it comes to couple fluff. As for post-marriage troubles, if I see it, I inadvertently think about the typical real life of a working adult... Showing up at the office in the morning, suffering through your boss breathing down your neck for eight hours, and then going home at night to deal with your spouse's nagging and the kids' tantrums and cries. The kind of boredom which drains all energy... It's very hard to continue reading the story when I'm struck with that kind of boredom.
