Bond was married twice in his life. Once out of love and once out of need for being undercover.
In You only Live Twice he was required to be married to maintain his identity when he and the ninja's slipped into the fishing village. It was part of his giant "make over" he was required to obtain. Yes, they gave him a unibrow like thin and shaved his chest. Very amusing. That and he partied with little betty. hehee
Than he married out of love in Her Majesty's. If I'm not mistakened he proposed to her in the barn after being chased off the mountain on ski's, an awesome chase scene 
They got married in a chapel, moneypenny was crying, good fun. He was offered money as a dowry and refused because he actualy truly loved her and wasn't in it for the money. They were driving down the mountain on their way to their honey moon and they realised she didn't have a flower, but they had tons on the car. So Bond pulled over to pick one off and give it to her. At that time a drive by shooting occured and his wife was shot in the head. He actualy broke down and cried.
In movies after they bring up the marriage. For instance in the next movie..I'm drawing a blank on the name, but it starts with him at his wife's grave and he is picked up by helicopter and flown elsewhere only to be ambushed by a remote control helicopter that I think Spectre set up for him.
They also talk about his marriage in License to Kill when Felix's new wed brings up that who ever gets her leg thingy isthe next to marry, and that got bond upset. Felix explained to her that Bond was married once, a long time ago, and its a very touchy subject.
Point is, Bond is a pretty linear character, but he does have those little niches that help explain his character.
And the older movies are awesome because of less technology, the reliance on his charm and luck, and simply good acting. THe new movies rely too much on special effects and just putting things in that are..retarded. For instance, who the HELL surf's in to combat? Seriously. That is worse than a cello.
