Wedding nights are presumably designed for something more physically active than reading.

What… you mean opening all the wedding presents?

What wedding present could be more welcome than an heir to make the grandparents happy?

Wouldn't that depend on whether or not it is a straight wedding? 
Otherwise the unexpected presence of a baby might make for a rather short marriage...

You have a point. I had not thought of gay marriages.
I don't have any data about the strength of childless versus childful(?) marriages. When one partner wants children and the other doesn't, that could put strain on the marriage if the couple has no children. On the other hand, a marriage that isn't strong to begin with could find itself under stress if the father resents the child's close ties with the mother.
