No problem here with the saints putting emphasis on procreation and with it being critical. That often is the purpose they discuss.We do not find a single saint endorse sex irrespective of procreation.
The saints do however say there is more than one purpose, including St Paul - who incidentally happened to not mention procreation at all.
The marriage prayer talks about chastity, a pure marriage bed, bearing of children and giving to others (paraphrased quickly as I am heading to work). That’s what is endorsed by the saints in relation to this. Chastity. Procreation. Unity. Service.
