View submission: Is Buddhism skeptical of romantic relationships?

This is absolutely not correct.

You are applying the monastic teaching to this .. when in fact the householder teaching emphasises a lot on having a good relationship with your wife and children.

Now this ultimately is because the monastic teaching is aimed at Arhathood and Nirvana, while the householder is aimed at Sotapanna or a better next life.

So it depends on which part of Buddhism you are a looking at.
