I wondered who ate them 
I'm sorry you feel that way Ugly.
I never stated you have a belief that love is a supernatural force. If I thought that, I would have clearly stated it. That being said, I agree neither one of us has thrown down any facts.
I don't know much about prostitution, other than the legalities of it in my state, but I could only imagine, most who engage in it, don't ride bareback, so I doubt many children are produced by it. I don't care to research that.
What point is being overlooked by both sides of this argument, is the child. I don't know if you have any, I jave two. When my oldest was born, my right to seek my own happiness, flew out the window. It's all about raising Godly offspring, so they will go on to do the same.
As far as academic research to identify a successful marriage, more like a successful family unit, very few factors can be quantified, other than economics and the propensity to crime. Here is an article about single parent homes, and the pitfalls:

For every example of failure in a mid-pregnancy marriage, I could find a success. Although I often hated my own existence, if it weren't for my grandparents taking responsibility, I wouldn't be here. Neither would my beautiful babies. I still believe pregnancy is as good of a reason to marry as any other.
In a perfect world, everyone courts, develops a love between eachother, marries, then has children. We aren't discussing ideal circumstances.

It’s midnight, and I find that to be incredibly annoying. Not the time itself, but that I’m awake to see it. It’s just all...pitch black. Aside from the multitude of lights perched in various places upon the entertainment center- lights that I never notice during the day, but at this hour are really quite obnoxious. I don’t even know what half of the lights belong to...a weather station thingamajig? A router? What’s the row of green blippy lights for? Or the lonely little red one? Stay tuned to find out...
Just kidding, I’m not that dedicated.
Maybe it’s not just pitch black...the bit of sky I can see out the window is gray. Correction- it’s pinkish-gray, the color that usually means it’s going to snow. But it won’t snow, because this winter has been extremely uncooperative and doesn’t want me to build an entire army of 12” tall snowmen. That’s a bit depressing, honestly, because it would be interesting to see how 50 miniature snowmen fare against nine full grown chickens.
...probably the chickens would literally henpeck them to death and then do what chickens never. stop. doing- poop. It turns out, they even do this in their sleep, and that’s exactly the type of thing I should have known before deciding to become a chicken mama, because I might’ve decided against chickens and gotten a dairy cow instead.
What am I saying? Of course I wouldn’t have- I’d have insisted on getting 20 chickens AND a dairy cow, and possibly a duck.
Now it doesn’t seem pitch black inside, either...everything’s got a nice blueish tone to it.
Just when I thought I’d accepted that midnight is actually quite a nice time to be awake, I noticed that it’s now closer to 1:00, and 1:00 sounds worse than midnight.
