The average man has one testicle, the average woman one breast and they both only have one eye.
There might be some better way of measuring this than a mathematical average, some means of describing the most common grouping in a given cohort, but that’s for smarter men than I.
Perhaps I came off as too hostile. I read your comment and I thought it was potentially harmful and I’m incredibly depressed, so I wrote a hasty sniping response. I tend to think of things said as their effects in aggregate rather than the virtue of the person saying it.
I’m also bi and arguably aromantic. And intend to remain childfree.
Normal mainly implies average.
The average person has a spouse and a kid. So the statement is not wrong.
Doesn’t mean you can’t have a normal life without a wife or a kid. It just doesn’t mean average then.
As there are substantially fewer polygamists than there are single people, the average person has a fraction of a spouse.

wait. so normal means average, or normal does not mean average?
Its a normative statement. It contributes to alienating people without wives or kids.
Only if you take it that way and if you choose to do so that is on you.
