Male nobles always go to the whore houses for a partner
Marriage is very infrequent in the game, usually because there aren't enough female characters and no one I have found is willing to go through an RP to get there.
It's usually a solo-RP if anything - it's hard to get other players to RP with you
There just isn't enough RPing in the game, though I myself have been lagging at it recently as well.
