   As I can remember from my comic book days, The reason for Superman's
secret identity was so that he could not be blackmailed into using his
powers for the forces of evil (by said force threatening or controlling 
his loved ones).  By marrying Lois and keeping his powers
he would have the same sort of problem. If the marriage were known, Bad
Guys could use him through Lois. Even if the marriage were kept secret
there would be too great a risk that somehow it would be found out.
