I thought preferring strangers over family was the entire point of marriage (my cousins and heck, even my parents were once total strangers and basically left the nest and married each other, and so did a lot of people I knew and so did everyone in history). Otherwise, there's no way marriage could happen, and with that, reproduction (as God mandated that people can only raise children and start a family if they are married). Besides, Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White, Jasmine, heck, even Belle basically preferred strangers over their families, even Rapunzel.
