Why have a nagging wife when you can pick and choose whoever you like for the bedchamber and then send them off again honored to serve the Big E? Might have had a harem of his favorites around but Big E enjoyed being a bachelor
-edit this theory works just well whatever his preference might have been

I assume the reason the emperor never had an emperess is that he doesn't tell anyone his name. As per prospero burns chaos can't get you if they don't know your name, also his partner is a target and allthat stuff about how you don't want to see more loved ones die after a few hundred years.

Any kids the emperor would have wouldn't be a primarch they'd have the potential for psycic powers and all that but primarchs are more or less clones of daddy.

If he can create an non-aging genetically modified army of superfreak men, surely he can create a superfreaky non-aging genetically modified woman? Or change one to be as such? Or give her lots of rejuvenation treatments?

Wouldn't he be using his own gene-seed/DNA for his genetically enhanced super wife? That would be...weird.

Yes, but do smart people subject themselves to an eternity with the same person or losing half of their Imperium of Man?

The answer is obvious, my friends: the Emperor is hopelessly awkward and has the social grace of a dead squirrel.

You think it was bad when you accidentally touched that cute girl's boob? When the Emperor did it, He accidentally crushed her sternum. Another time, He blinded a cute blonde with His holy aura. The only woman the Emperor got close to scoring with got pulverized by His massive pelvis.

Poor Emperor.

When will this moment pass?

the Emperor wasn't happy about Sanguinious's liasons with Corax, so he decided to teach her a "lesson"

but the Emperor didn't find out about Corax and Sanguinious's child untill years later.

Now that I think about it.. the Emperor was a right evil bastard. Just look at that time he let his pet mutant-witch-cyclops-thing get mauled by a vicious pack of space puppies.

It's no wonder there was a heresy.. Horus found out about all this abuse and decided to rebel. But the big E, being the evil bastard that he was, used his daughter as a meat shield, resulting in Horus accidentally killing her.

Maybe he has a wife. A wife who is secretly running the whole imperium... now that would be interesting.

Yes.. so that whilst everybody is busy thinking nobody is running the Imperium, she can be off not running the Imperium and instead going on endless shopping sprees and other pointless shenanigans understood only by the female gender of our race.

Exactly.

Well seriously I don't really think he ever had any interest like that at any point. He was too busy with creating the Imperium and such.

Well assuming he didn't have sex with his SM's and he will have intercourse with his created wife, then yes it's a whole lot weirder. It's like incest maybe?
