There are a number of standard arguments against changing the wording... I don't happen to buy them but they exist.
1. By allowing same sex couples, and since men are routinely more successful in combat than women, you'll end up with fewer women rulers. Right now, there is always an equal number of men and women rulers.
2. By allowing same sex couples, you can have Two SuperDukes fight for each other, and increase their chances of winning tremendously.
3. By allowing two men to fight, you can create "daisy chains" of couples that have an increased chance of winning. Able fights for Baker, Baker fights for Charlie, Charlie fights for Able.
