Am I the only one who feels its weird that we as humans have this unwritten rule that two people need to stick their genitals in each other in order to be candidates for raising a child. Many would assume that a marriage without romantic love would not result in as good a child as one that does...

But the more I think about it the more I think it shouldnt be so hard to be close with someone in a non-romantic sense and have enough emotional respect and enjoy each other company enough that it would be a wonderful environment.

But even without a kid in the picture this setup is unheard of. You just dont have two people who want to bond and live together and share a life if sex isnt in it, and good sex. Hell I've had that opinion myself at many times. But it just makes no logical sense, its not like humans cant go around having amazing sex with whoever they want, but again we just dont let that fly in this species I guess... humans are weird.
