I thought that the Malfoy marriage was kind of an old-type of 
marriage (I can't remember what era), where some people would get 
married purposely for ties and money. Perhaps Lucius's father was 
somebody important, and Narcissa's parents suggested the marriage so 
they could have family ties. It might also have been a rich get 
richer kind of thing.

Draco may just be the heir they needed. He is the only child, and if 
there were more than one child, the "fortune" and family ties would 
need to be split up between the male heirs. I'm sure that if Lucius 
and Narcissa's first child had been a girl, they would have kept at 
it until they produced a boy.

I think the Malfoy family is more of a political one than a loving 
one. They married and had a child for necessity, not for a family.
