Actually, it's iffy about what exactly happens when you turn someone. All of your vamplings will state how happy they are that they've turned and how much they love their new powers.
I mean, you do basically assert your influence on them like you do to Dexion, and their vampirism affects their mind. It's enough to make the rather stilted love dialogue unnerving.
Still, for the lonely vampire, an immortal spouse is a blessing. They even comment if you blot out the sun.
"Know... that I am built of death from the ground up, and it is a corpse that loves you, and adores you, and will never, never leave you..."

There's something that bothers me, though.
In Hearthfire, you can adopt children.
In Dracula, the Count eats children.
Bah, I don't get lovey dialogue and I'm probably missing Vampire specific dialogue from Marcurio because I reverted him to his hireling dialogue so I could keep his interesting comments in dungeons (our relationship is based upon killing stuff together - hey, whatever works, right?).
It's true you have to use Seduction - but Seduction is just a Calm effect - and it's good for your health to be calm

- ask the Greybeards...
I admit I had to RP around how it's the same mechanic to make Dexion a thrall as it is to make your spouse a Vampire - I guess there's some subtlety between thralldom and turning people that's not covered with the broad mechanic of biting. And I just love how the new converts like being vampires. I've never caught them saying anything cliched or stereotypically evil, and instead they say cool things about colours and such.
As for Dracula - he throws that baby to his
wives, so Hearthfire could be just the happy family for some Vampire...
