I agree that The Jedi made a mistake in forbidding marriage since it will lead to the situation with Anakin. Due to it being forbidden, Anakin had no one to speak to honestly about his concerns so he could receive help. Due to this, and the further mishandling of Anakin by the other Jedi (they can see he is troubled, yet they force him into a situation that will trouble him even more?), he was left alone to try and figure it out himself.
Rather than forbidding marriage, the Jedi should have just discouraged it and explained their reasons (the ones that Yoda mentioned) and let the Jedi considering marriage to know that it will make their life more difficult. By allowing marriage, and thus knowing which Jedi are married, they can help Jedi who are troubled to seek out help without the fear that they will be expelled from The Order.
Now, to take this off-topic:
In so many stories involving parallel universes, it seems like the character often encounter variations of their characters they know, yet they often seem to be similar to the people they know. Events take place in a slightly, or sometimes not to slightly, manner. However, what if this is due to the structure of reality not based on parallel timelines but a cube?
Suppose the entire structure of reality is actually in the form of a cute with a large number of points inside (while each reality has all of the planets in the same location). Each point within the cube represents a different reality, and when you move from one point to another, how similar the two realities are depends on how close the points are.
Let's say that you move to the point closest to your reality. In this alternate reality, the difference between the two is something as small as the stop lights being a slightly different shade of red, or the version of you from that reality was born 1 minute later.
Then, after returning to your native reality, you travel to a reality that is several million points away. There are so many difference from your native reality that it is completely unrecognizable (as an example, an environmental disaster there destroyed the ecosphere and killed all life).
