It's actually a misconception that Golems have little emotion when they are created. In truth,  they lack the ability to express them properly, but that is easily remedied over time. If you treat them kindly, they'll seek to be around you all the time, because they can learn from being around you and they have difficulty finding people who treat them well. They are often the special target of malice because they are seen as emotionless, uncaring automata.

And unfortunately, they all require energy of some kind to function. Most commonly it is spirit energy (as they are commonly used as tools by the Radical Faction) but they can be created to take other types as well. The wonderful thing about Golems is you get to watch them develop into their own person over time and teach them about the world. Not only will you have the most loving and faithful (and INCREDIBLY strong) wife of all, you'll have one who looks up to you as her mentor. And, if she has fallen in love with you after having been used as a machine, you have the satisfaction of having rescued her.
