I never got the impression that Ellie and Grant were a couple to begin with, so it's OK for me.
I mean they never kissed or hugged,not even after "reuniting" in the end.
If they were in love or a couple, wouldn't they at least once show some affection? -

Alan Grant is not married to Ellie Sattler , Why ?
I've been rewatching the films in sequence, and noticed something at the end of the first one I hadn't really taken in before, that I think answers your question:
As they're being evacuated in the chopper, and Alan is sitting with Lex and Tim tucked under his arms, he looks across at Ellie, their eyes meet, and he smiles as if to say, "See? I can change." Ellie looks at him contemplatively for a moment, then breaks eye-contact and looks away sadly. And it's clear at that moment that
she doesn't want him anymore
.
Ellie has changed as well. Dinosaurs were one thing when they were dead and fossilised in the rock, but when they're alive and eating people it's a whole different proposition, one that she doesn't want to be part of. She knows that if she stays with Alan, she also stays with the bad memories.
So it's no surprise that when we see her again, she's married to a non-scientist who's rich enough to provide for her and let her give up her career.
Some feminist, eh?!
You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment. -

Is marrying and having children only anti feminist if the Peterson you marry is also wealthy?
Or perhaps it's worse to make assumptions/judgement calls about a character being "enough" of a woman based on 2 scenes in a movie
When you're 17 a cow can seem dangerous and forbiddenam I alone here? -

I just finished watching this movie for the first time, having wanted to watch the whole series after seeing Jurassic World. I'm really disappointed that Ellie went on to marry someone else. It was clear in the first movie that they were attracted to one another. The whole Alan 'not wanting kids' was addressed and he had warmed up to kids by the end of the first one. That was the obstacle keeping them from not being a couple so I was really surprised to see she had married someone else. It sucked.

It wouldn't be surprising that a couple into each other in 1993 wouldn't be together in 2001, but I didn't see the point in writing it that way. Obviously the writers chose to break them up despite it not apparently having value to the plot that I could see. Alan could have still called her for help if they were married. It just seemed like another jab at fans honestly. "Oh you wanted Alan and Ellie together? Oh you like the T Rex? Oh you don't like talking dino hallucinations? Well screw you."
Consider the daffodil. And while you're doing that I'll be over here looking through your stuff.

Relationships are usually destroyed by traumatic events. Their love was a memory of dread and horror that they would have constantly lived through if they were still together. The break is to find solace and closure from such events.
It's therapeutic to stay apart.
Just look at what happens to couples when their newborn dies etc. Same thing.
