First of all you'd have to ask yourself why we have the existence of "romantic relationship ceremonies". As far as I'm concerned, I think that those ceremonies are mainly used for flagging purposes. The heavy weight of child making in society associated with the huge amount of care children require obliges society to flag the child-making kind of relationships. A flag such as "tread cautiously on this one turf (relationship)". Thus, anyone dealing with people involved in these kinds of relationships needs to be cautious or else their actions could result in making children from that child-making-relationship growing up, lacking the appropriate care, into adults with all sorts of problems. Of course, no one wants a society full of those kinds of adults. The bottom line being that compared to non-romantic relationships, romantic ones will surely always be more favored as a result of their potentially-child-producing characteristic. Unless, somehow there is a healthy way of combining child rearing together with non-romantic relationships.
