Given perfect health certain couples can procreate and others can't.
Therein is the frightful rub. Should we test couples to see if they are able to procreate and grant/deny marriage licenses on that basis? I think not. However, if a male/female couple that is incapable (and knowingly incapable) of having children are allowed to marry (as they are) any argument (like yours) regarding procreation ability as a qualifier for marriage should be seen as discriminiatory and/or misguided. Simple as that.
