Two things: First, their marriage is not really a marriage. Elias has a very surface working knowledge of the definition of what things like marriage and honeymoon are. This was emphasized in the first 2 episodes.

Second, Elias isn't really an adult. Even Chise says "he is like a child" and Ruth calls them "mother and son" at one point. This is not a romantic relationship like too many people make it out to be. It is about two abandoned creatures who are trying to find a place in life. Both Elias and Chise use each other for their own gain at the start then learn to lean on each other for growth and support. They both have a discussion about this in episode 20.
