Evidence to the point of having ace/aro parents: My parents married in 1962, when the cultural norm was to marry in your early 20s... My mother was 27, and my father was 34.
My mother proposed to my father by saying: "You know... If we got married, we could cosign on a mortgage, and buy a house. And if we bought a house, we could have cats." And that was the argument that persuaded him.
I'm an only child, and I wasn't conceived until nearly a year after they were married. Granted, my father was a junior airline pilot at the time, so scheduling might have gotten in the way. But it's not like they were itching to jump each other's bones.
My mother once told me that one of the best things about being married was to have someone who can check you for ticks after you come in from a walk in the woods.
So... yeah. Not definitive, by any means, but signs indicate chances substantially greater than zero ;-)
