They even try (poorly) to justify it in a loading screen tip. Basically, "people die young in Skyrim; that's why they'll agree to marry you after you've done them a single minor favor."

Eh, im fine with it personally, clear out all the usual gameified BS.

It makes a certain story mod that says the Nords are homophobic feel like the jarring oddity, given Skyrim was the first in the series to do away with restrictions on marriage, and its not considered abnormal anyway.

Sometimes its fine to streamline and simplify.
