The Spartans did marry and have children but the home visits (soldiers were expected to live in barracks) were more conjugal than anything else. After all, how were they supposed to get more Spartans.
It'd be like that line in "Hot Shots - Part Deux"; "Colonel, these men have taken a vow of celibacy, like their fathers, and their fathers before them."
