Lara Raith marriage consummation
Conspiracy Theorist:
The point is that healing with magic is difficult. The Alphas have worked out a nasty way for themselves but healing someone else is much more difficult.
We have Lea healing Harry from a concussion in GP, Uriel temporarily healing Michael in SG and Mab healing Harry’s back in Changes and that about it for gross physical injury.

I think that was Mab supporting a critically-injured body that had no spirit or soul inside it (i.e. the body is trying to die) ...
...
And doing so for a timespan approaching a year (i.e. across the changing of the seasons, living inside Summer's territory!)
Conspiracy Theorist:
It ascribes limits to Mab’s capability of healing outside of the Stone Table.
The Stone Table has certain ceremonial uses and Mab’s Mantle would prohibit her using it otherwise. Curing Harry on his becoming Winter Knight was acceptable. Healing him literally the next day from a gunshot was not.
I wonder is this is a proscription of the White God to protect human bodily autonomy, free will and to push mankind to advance medical technology? The exceptions are very limited, and this is something oft stated - medical technology is about as good as magic these days.

If during Next Book, they are seen working together and dating, they can "reveal" the protection as being with each other, get married and then have a perfect excuse for not cohabiting continuously. I doubt many in the House know of Thomas' solution with Justine so it won't be odd to be together rarely and make a show of tragic star crossed love blooming in times of turmoil and kept apart by the White Court curse.
Given that justification, they can stay married but be separate.

Unlikely. It looks like a whamp's first method of overcoming protection. Remember Madeleine in Turn Coat? She taunted Justine by saying that she'll bring a "handsome young buck" to her room, whisper desire in her ear until she's "begging to be taken", thus overcoming the protection to allow Madeleine to feed.
Note that Madeleine is not the brightest whamp ever born.

The Raith’s breed for beauty, not brains, so why on Earth Harry?
