So should we ban infertile men from marrying, since they can no longer form a “reproductive unit”? How about my wife and I who have decided to not have kids - should we get a divorce?

The government does not pry into such details, but the reason why marriage historically consisted of a man and a woman is that they reproduce together. Why are marriages of cousins and closer relatives banned in the U.S.? Because society does not view certain couples as proper reproductive units.

  That dosesn’t answer my questions though. You are against same sex marriage because they don’t form a reproductive unit. Infertile people don’t either. By your logic, they shouldn’t be able to get married either. Also, cousin marriages are allowed in about half the U.S. states. A few states that allow it actually require one partner to be infertile - proof that the government does pry into such details.
