It's really more about making the sacrifices necessary to maintain a healthy relationship, and applying those lessons in the field to create cohesion and unity amongst your teammates. Of course, when Cyclops is faced with marital problems, he runs away from them. When he found out Emma was cheating on him with Namor, he tried to choke her to death! Which by the way is another reason why editorial prefers Emma over Jean, can you picture Scott laying a hand on Jean like that, ever? Scott has been so lucky in his life with women, all three of whom are not only incredibly beautiful and intelligent, but also ready and willing to help him become a better man. In return, he has contributed literally nothing to any of those relationships, and left each of them in a worse state than when he found her. With that track record, only the most idiotic woman would even consider giving him a chance. Hmm, maybe he can give Rogue a try, she's never exactly been known as the sharpest tool in the shed.
And of course Scott and Wanda would be a dreadful coupling, she knows much better than to get involved there, not to mention she's already got the entire male (and possibly female) population of the MU eating out of the palm of her hand and can do much, much better. Though I do like the idea that Scott is inexplicably obsessed with her despite everything she's done to oppose him over the years. Maybe after teen Jean throws him out on his ass, he can go make a creepy advance on Wanda, and she can turn him away in her best 18th century romance novel heroine voice, with a classic line like "I don't care what my father wants! I could never love a brute like you!" I would be much bemused by that.
