Perhaps Robin hadn't even met Maid Marian yet. They'd have fallen in love soon after meeting. So yeah, that was the perfect timing imo. Not now that Robin has a family and a woman he loves, because we KNOW he loves Marian. The young Queen running off with a bandit, would be the talk of the town. It never would have worked, as Robin Hood would have been executed.

The thing about Robin and Marian, is they are probably no longer compatible. How do you rekindle a relationship, when you thought your wife died years ago? Marian is exactly as she was, the last time he saw her. While Robin was forced to raise their son alone, which changes a man.
