I hope the romance and marriage system will be significantly improved in Bannerlord (compared to Warband). For example: more meaningful quests, and the wife can be more useful after marrying (strongly depends on kind of person she is). More detailed examples:
- If she is a claimant, the player may marry her after successfully helping her to reclaim the throne.
- Save her from being attacked or being held captive. (no longer "magically" teleport between towns and castles, more vulnerable to some danger)
- Avenge her family on an enemy lord for killing her father and stole her family's fief.
...
Speaking in terms of ladies' personalities in Warband:
- If she is tomboyish, she may be happy to join her husband's party. (would be rare for noble ladies, but there should be some)
- If she is ambitious, she may help her husband governing the fiefs, the economy, etc. (basically equivalent to the minister in Warband, maybe with much more abilities and options)
- If she is a conventional noble lady, she would help raising her children to be more healthy.
- If she is a moral lady, she would help raising her children to have good personality. (As I suggested in another thread, about continue playing as a player's character's child after the player's character retire or die, the other children would respect the former player's character's decision, including which child should have the inheritance, if they have good relationship with the former player's character and/or have good personality; otherwise, the other children will be hostile toward the new player's character and try to take the inheritance.)
- If she is a romantic lady, she would be happy to help her husband in some ways; the player may ask her to do any of the above, versatile but not as good in each job.

I hope those ideas may help the developers and modders. It would be nice to see them become true someday, either the official game or a mod.
Regarding the sexual content, it would be wise not to heve nudity and sex scene in the official Taleworlds 's versions. Modders may add those things later, just like the Dickplomacy mod. By the way, for the official game, I wonder if there's an option (selection in conversation or menu) to have sex with the player's character's wife/husband, because this directly linked to when to have a child.
