Since Verdona is an Anodite, a very free spirited sort of alien, something as binding as marriage might not appeal to most members of the species. She was the one who left Max as soon as the kids were grown and having been stationary for so long to take care of a family was probably murder for her. Even Sunny wasn't beyond flirting with Kevin despite already having a boyfriend.

There's nothing confirmed, but I wouldn't be surprised if Anodites don't have marriage rituals. Or at least, don't have very strict rules or social expectations involving marriage.

We were just talking about how the viewers would see it because you know, not everyone grew up in the same placce. Different places have different traditions. So in some place, if they see a show where there is something that goes against their tradition, they'd prohibit it even if it is a Kid's show.

But in a kids perspective, being able to watch someone with powers, or gadget or a hero is already cool enough that they would not even consider things like marriage in the show. Although Kids aren't the only ones who watches this show.
