Well to marry means to strenghten your bonds to other lords.
Or you can establish a family and you can actually feel that you are a part of the game.
As it's now I just feel like I'm an important figure in the history, bust just beeing ignored by all the lords.
I'm the leader of a strong army, I've won the national tournament I'm well known.
But there is no lord, who wants to take this oppurtunity to make me part of his family?
That's what a lord would actually do, because if your family is strong, you as an individual are strong too.
Or better said, if you are in trouble it's always better to have a strong family backing you up.
So it only makes sense to let a strong and respectet warlord marry into your family.
Because if there is someone with a strong army in your family, your enemy may think twice about attacking you.
(Of course this is not in the game, this kind of thinking, but it would explain why you should be able to marry,
or why the lords may actually present their daughters to you)
