@jpkarlsenDon't be sorry. I'm an adult, I was married, and two months ago my husband passed away, I'm not a baby. And despite being Latin, that exaggeration seems very misplaced and boring to me. I felt like you judged me, I'm sorry but I am a mature normal person (certificated lol)
I disagree with you, in the sense that for me the logical thing is to know each other enough to marry someone, so, the friendship should be bigger than the romance line.
The main screen in the game? I guess Getting famous is the problem or maybe Growing together.
I'm sorry for your loss. I was thrown off by your apparent confusion about why the game would assign romance and friendliness when married in CAS since it is well known for adults that at the time of marriage the romance tends to be very high. Anyway to your problem if the other suggestions you got doesn't work out you can try to turn off autonomy for your Sims.
