I wouldn't have given up my guns for a marriage.
Not that I consider then more important than the woman I married, but on general principle. I lump that kind of behavior under "trying to change someone" or "trying to control someone".
Lots of things go into a relationship, and some of those things help us to decide whether or not the person we're with has values which do or do not support continuing the relationship in the first place.
NOW... what drives my decision to carry?
It's simply a part of what I do on a daily basis, like wallet, pocket knife, keys, and phone. General day-to-day tools, with this particular tool being one I consider an effective tool for self-defense.
