My wife and I have NO plans to ever have children. We are not kid people, and that is one of the key things that brought us together. We don't want to procreate, but we are still married. Reading your argument makes me think that I should not be married, since I don't care to contribute to the overpopulation of the planet.
I think your argument's biological basis is way off. Marriage is simply an agreement between two people who love each other to spend the rest of their lives together. Period. Biology has nothing to do with it. Neither does the church, or the state, or your or anyone else's opinions, really. If I want to marry Harry, then who gives a flying crap? I'm happy, I am not infringing on another's rights, it just shouldn't be an issue.
