Very disturbing but legitimate topic
I think we're far from "marriage" with robots since robots with true AI and not intelligence imitation are far from reality. All too often is a clever algorithm mislabeled as "AI". Having robots with the human level of someone like "Data" of Star Trek is a long ways off and even then it's arguable if Data can be classified as a new life form.

We have to be realistic that for the foreseeable future, you?re going to get a glorified blow-up doll that pretends to be intelligent with canned responses that are designed to fool gullible people in to loving them. But what happens when you get a truly intelligent robot with its own true emotions? Wouldn?t those AI beings be repulsed by people with nasty physical and/or personalities? If that was the case, then you?re going to have to deliberately limit the intellect of the AI being such that it?s reduced to a submissive sex slave which is not much better than a blow-up doll with canned responses.

Now if we can get past these issues, then Chobits might be a good visualization of how such a world might function and the emotional dynamics.
