You are still imagining children. Married people often do not produce children between them. If there are children present in their families, this phenomenon is through another means than through biological procreation. If a married couple does not produce biological children, what harm is done, anyway? Then the married couple would just be one man and one woman down the block, or two men, or two women living down the block. I fail to see why this is so earth-shattering.
Being a child legally separated for life from either a mother or father is brand new law and an earth-shattering concept given that THE reason marriage was invented was to insure both vital mother and father for boys and girls anticipated to arrive.
Two budding business partners sign a contract in anticipation of profits not yet existing, yet when they exist, they are bound by the terms of the contract's specifics for a reason. Not all partnerships result in profits. Some fail right out of the chute. That doesn't mean we revise business contracts to exclude the idea of profits entirely because some partnerships fail.
Marriage has always been about children primarily and adults secondarily since time immemorial. It was that way to keep boys with fathers and girls with mothers and the influence of both in each's life. It was so they grew up to be the best people society could expect instead of outcasts and ne'er do wells as to this day is statistically shown to be true (page 6, left hand side).
