Maybe Thorin just wasn't the marrying type of guy - dwarf, I should say. I don't know about Dwarves, but the forge isn't the first place I go for when looking for a husband.
 I also get the impression the drive to keep the royal bloodlines going is rather more absent in Dwarves than it is in humans. Suppose Thorin did have a family, wouldn't it perhaps have kept him off going on such a desperate journey to boot out a full grown dragon out of the old family-mountain?
