Some of this may have changed, but there are Reed and Sue, T'Challa and Ororo, Peter and MJ, Luke and Jessica, and now even Wade and that queen of the monsters of his, I forgot her name. In DC all I can think of is Wally and Barry. Oh, and Barda and Mr Miracle. Anybody else?
So I would say Marvel is more into the families.
Well, here is my old thread I created for time travelers.

I forgot Gabriel Walker and Time Commander.
In terms of married couples: Ralph and Sue Dibney, Green Arrow and Black Canary, and Big Barda and Mister Miracle.
Wally and Barry are married? :/

Also, how are you defining the families? Does the Superman, SHAZAM, Flash, and Batman family count?

Ha ha, lol, sorry, I didn't mean to each other 😛 I am still leaning towards Marvel. In Marvel the characters who are married seem a bigger deal, if I can put it that way. They also make a big production of it when they get married. In DC it seems as if most of the big name superstar heroes, whether male or female, are unmarried with no kids.

Agreed. Married couples feel more important. Looking at the time travel thread again, I had a hard time coming up with actual time travelers. I think DC takes it, unless you have some examples of time travelers. Strictly time travelers.
Master of the World and Doom wouldn't fall into that.

No, I am going by the classical definition, married with children or hoping to have children, like Reed and Sue, or Luke and Jessica. Gay or straight doesn't matter, but brothers and sisters don't count. Have to be people who are willing to commit and make it official.

Well, some of the Super and Flash family are blood related. Cousins and whatnot.

I'll be willing to concede that, you seem to know a lot of DC characters I don't. 😉
Although, regarding the time travel thing, I just remembered the whole Kang the conquerer thing. Does DC have a villain like that, who consistently threatens them?
About the cousins and blood relations thing - no, because that's not a choice. Unless something weird happened and Supes is now dating his cousin 😛

Hahah, fair enough. As for time travel villains, DC has Per Degaton, Epoch, and the Time Stealers. Degaton and Despero are in the lineups.
Marvel?
Howard the Duck
Rocket Raccoon
Squirrel Girl
The Beast
Tiger Shark
Orka
Vermin
Thats just to even up with your list. Man-Bat's another prominent DC example.
Marvel has Man-Wolf.
Marvel has the High Evolutionary's creations. DC Kamandi's whole shtick is living among anthropomorphic characters.
DC has Beast Boy, a shifter, Marvel has shifters Snow Bird and Silver Claw.
It goes on and on.
I'd call it a split.
