"I am certainly not going to go and marry Coop," Philip answers with an amused snort of laughter. The very idea of getting married is one that absolutely does not appeal to him in any way and he very much doubts Coop has much interested in it at this point either. If that changes in the future, it'll very likely be because Coop has found someone else to tie himself to for the rest of time.

That's not the role Philip is ever going to fill in someone's life, something he's perfectly happy to know. No one in their right mind would want to marry him, on top of all that, for which he wouldn't be able to blame them.
