I've noticed a moderate tendency for my married friends, of either
sex, to draw away from me and toward other married people.  But there
is also a phenomenon that has nothing to do with marriage: singles
tend to socialize with singles, and couples, married or not, with
couples.  I think it's common for a single to feel like the ``odd''
person when with a couple or couples, and vice versa; two people
who are already ``paired'' may well find a group of singles to be
on an entirely different wavelength.
