I could have sworn that Fire does get married. She can't have children, though she would have wanted to, because they would be monsters.
Most fantasy YA with female protagonists pushes a EVERYONE WANTS TO GET MARRIED agenda. But it's invisible to readers, because our society pushes the exact same agenda. It only looks like an agenda when it's a different agenda from the one generally believed by the mainstream. (ie, "It's okay to not want to get married!)
