Yoshida's repeated calls to not compare Eternal Bond to "marriage" or to not call it that way makes me think that this ritual does not pertain only romantic relationships (and frankly, I prefer it that way, since it allowed for same-gender players to partake to it without rising protests of differently politically inclined players).
I imagine it may also be taken for Eternal Bonds of brotherhood, for example, or loyal friendship as well... you know, all that kind of relationships that includes love but no sexual exchanges.
In this latter case, I can already think of a couple characters among my roster that may exchange Eternal Bond with their respective loyal adventuring partners.
RE: Eternal Bond: Using it? - Kage - 10-10-2014
I think it's really to protect SE from the sensibilities of those who prefer no same-sex bonds. At one point in time the benefits of this system had sample art calling for Marriage outfits...
Lalafells are people! Not food (except to every single enemy that isn't man)

I imagine a creation myth where Hydaelyn stacked a bunch of popotos on each other and said "Ennh, good enough."

I think there was a thread that started to go on in the forums about what actual differences there were between the races. Different species vs whatnot.
MAGIC AND SORCERY. LALAFELL ARE MAN OK.

Traffic cones with popotos for heads, I say!

It was definitely SE's way around Japan's very very prudish nature about Same Sex Marriage (And homosexuals in general). At first they weren't even going to allow Same Sex Marriage, stating their home country wouldn't like it (In around about way) but you know, slap a new name on it and pretend it's something else, people stop freaking out so much ("Civil Unions")
