In order to keep their characters from getting too 'long in the tooth' (old), DC is de-aging some of them. For example, Ray (Atom) Palmer was recently turned into a teenager and joined the Titans. Perhaps that's what they'll do with Aquaman also. You'll recall that Marvel had to do something similar with their characters-- Franklin Richards and Rachael Summers had to vanish, or go to the future, or be turned into alternate-dimension varieties, so that nobody would notice that their parents (Reed and Sue Richards; Scott Summers and Jean Grey) had grown up kids their own age!
Aquaman was actually the FIRST super hero to get married. He and Mera tied the knot a couple months before Reed and Sue did.
Comic book characters are getting revamped all the time. When the sales slip a little the publishers panic and think the public is going to start being mature all of a sudden and lose interest in comic books and their gravy train is going away, so then they feel they have to DO SOMETHING to 'keep' the readers' interest.
Also, when sales slump on one title, what do the publishers do...? So they hire exciting new writers and good artists...? No, of course not! That would cut into their profit margin! They just take the good writesrs and artists off the popular titles and put them on a new assignment, on the crummy ones.
Then it takes a few months until the readers catch on that the good writers and artists won't be coming back to their favorite old title (so they go on buying it for a while) and everybody gets all excited because they're going to start working on the other title to revitalize it.
Then it takes a while before the artists and writers can come up with good stuff for the title they've been re-assigned to, because they don't want to do something that is exactly like the previous title. And everybody talks about how much better they were on the previous title, but everybody keep on buying the new one as well as the old one because hope springs eternal and people fool themselves into believing that the publishers will give them what they want "Because YOU, the reader, demanded it!"
That's what happened. It's just business. That's the comic book business. Nothing personal against Aquaman.
PS, if you are American, and of voting age, and if you have not yet voted, get out there and vote! That's a power that none of the comic book heroes have, and Captain America would be proud of you!
