Would you get rid of this fireplace or keep it?

[Kmj2018]

So we are in the process of renovating our house and are about to plaster/skim the walls so need to decide if we want to keep or get rid of this fireplace . My husband doesn’t mind it and wants to keep it but I want to get rid of it. I think it’s quite ugly but it is real marble.

Personally, if I had the option, I would take down the fireplace, skim the walls and put in a woodburning stove into the space but with the fireplace gone that allows it to stick out so you can use the top.
