There's been a lot of speculation on the board with regard to Swedish king Carl XII. The future of Sweden had he lived, left surviving issue etc.
However, what I haven't yet seen is what role would any wife play in his equations. Let's assume grandma says he can't go off and play soldier before he's at least married, or his dad lives long enough to force Carl XII to marry (the how he's married isn't really important).
That said, does the fact that he has a nice wife keeping the home fires burning while he's off running around with the army mean have any bearing on whether he comes home for the non-campaigning months (or does she accompany him on campaign)? What role would any wife of his play in Stockholm during his absence? Does he still stay in Turkey as long as he did OTL if he knows he's got a wife (and maybe kids) waiting for him back home?
