they had common interests and get along well and enjoy being with each other and they don't need to have kids if they don't want to.

If it was an arranged marriage without emotional connection they probably would have kids right away since that is where they would focus their lives on . Similar to this couple who probably never formed a connection and it just became about their son . And with the son an adult they now want the grandchild to fill their emotional needs.
