Marriage should be defined by the ability to procreate thru natural means

By that definition a post menopausal woman could not get married nor could a sterile male yet both are allowed to marry.

Actually, procreation is only one of the benefits of a marriage from a sanctified standpoint. Sexual connection and the loving benefits that connection provides is also an important element as taught by our Church (Catholic) thus encompasing even those unable to procreate.
