Consider these points:
~The primary purpose of marriage is not to have children, other purposes are now seen as equally or more important.
~Having children is not a requirement of marriage (and would be universally condemned if it tried)
~Society does not insist that those who want to marry demonstrate that they can and will have children
~heterosexuals who cannot have children are allowed to marry
~heterosexuals who don't want to have children are allowed to marry
~heterosexuals who don't want to have sex are allowed to marry (although the partners must have agreed to this before marriage)
~heterosexuals stricken with a fatal illness and on his or her deathbed may legally marry
~heterosexuals who can't have sex because one partner is in prison for life without parole are allowed to marry
~heterosexuals can use technical assistance to have children
~same-sex couples can have children using the same methods
~heterosexuals can adopt children
~so, increasingly, can same-sex couples
~infertility is not a ground for divorce
