Aldrin was a fighter pilot in the war before he worked for NASA. Bays and Thomas regularly highlighted that Lily's mother was a staunch feminist, making it all the more likely that she would take her mother's surname over her father's. To back this theory up, Lily doesn't take Marshall's surname when they marry.

Over the course of the show, Marshall and Lily are the only two who really explore new parenthood in the main timeline. Obviously, Ted has children in the future (as he's narrating the show to them), and Barney is revealed to have a daughter in the flash-forwards, but it's Marshall and Lily's journey to become parents that is really front and center. And given Marshall's hopes for the future, he would be thrilled to learn that he becomes a father - and that he is a good one, too.
No matter what, they are always there, they live together for years, they support each other , they still go on road trips, and they even manage to work together at one point.
Because Marshall is so kind-hearted, it's easy to take advantage of him. Brad took the opportunity to pounce and tricked Marshall into thinking he was desperate for work.
Employees weren't allowed on the eighth floor while it was undergoing construction, but Marshall snuck down to use the bathroom. While he was reading his magazine on the toilet, a wrecking ball knocked down the wall, almost hitting him. Considering that Marshall almost died, his actions should've had consequences.
Brad was actually working for Gruber Pharmaceuticals and had pretended to be unemployed to steal Honeywell & Cootes' case strategy.
Marshall worked the team to the bone and threw a basketball at a kid because he was unimpressed with his performance. Lily was furious over Marshall's behavior, and it's shocking that his teaching methods never made it back to any parents.
Lily also mixes up all of Marshall's paperwork and throws up in his trashcan. If anyone saw what was going on, there would have been serious repercussions for Marshall.

In season seven, Barney realized that Nora was alarmingly similar to his mother. It wouldn't be the biggest surprise if Marshall was attracted to Nora due to these qualities. It would have been great to see Nora and Marshall give a relationship a shot. Who knows? They could have been perfect together.
While Barney and Quinn were good together, Quinn would have a been a better-suited love interest for Marshall. Quinn was a mature and independent character that Barney just wasn't ready for. He simply couldn't set aside his own insecurities to make things work with Quinn.
Patrice is a fan-favorite character so it would have been great to see her pair up with Marshall, a fellow fan-favorite character. Of course, in season eight, viewers witnessed Barney and Patrice get together. However, it was all just a ploy designed for Barney to win Robin back.
There is no doubt that Zoey would have been a great match for Marshall. Both of these characters are passionate about making a change for the better in the world.
While Karen was a bad influence on Ted, she would have been a much better-suited love interest for his best friend. Marshall is both modest and earnest, two qualities that would have balanced out Karen's personality perfectly.
Victoria was the one that got away. Ted and Victoria gave a relationship a shot several times throughout the series but it always took a backseat to Ted and Robin's relationship.
Robin, Zoey, and Stella are just a few characters that could have been perfect for Marshall, had he not always been in a relationship with Lily. Keep reading to find out who else Marshall should have been with.

The episode "Zoo or False" was one of the most ridiculous of the series. Viewers still don't know the truth of what happened, but from the information provided, Marshall was most likely mugged by another human being. He tells Lily that he was mugged by a monkey to stop her from buying a gun, and everyone relentlessly pokes fun at him for it.
Cheating on Victoria is one of the worst things that Ted ever did. Their long-distance relationship wasn't working out, but neither of them was ready to pull the plug. Robin calls Ted and invites him over late at night, and Ted realizes that something could finally happen between them.
Rather than tell Robin the truth, Ted goes behind the bride's back to convince the groom to let him take Robin. He almost ruins a couple's entire engagement in order to go on a date with the girl he was crushing on.
Marshall would never cheat on Lily, but when she wrongfully assumes that his co-worker is a man he doesn't correct her. He refuses to use pronouns and even makes up fake words so he isn't technically lying. But he's still being dishonest as he's terrified Lily will find out the truth and get angry.
