It's actually quite a beautiful control system for mass producing new believers isn't it?
Most people are hard wired to want sex, but they can't have sex unless they get married.
Even amongst asexuals some want companionship, but this companionship is forbidden and only accessible through marriage.
You can only get married if you agree to make lots of new believers, and if you don't follow this plan to hell you go!
I can't help but think whoever came up with this is nothing short of a genius, no wonder it caught on so quick with the Roman leadership. It's a perfect recipe for mass producing automaton soldiers while avoiding most the messy family situations that could reduce production rates and ensuring a crop from those who might not otherwise produce.
