I think you should be able to create lives with villagers as in marrying them or employing them for a job. To marry a villager you could make a gold ring with a diamond on top and then give to a boy/girl villager. There could be a 25% chance that they will say yes.
My first reaction to this is one of questioning. Why should we have these? What would marriage do? What jobs could villagers do? What else can gold rings do? How do you craft them? Are there now girl villagers? Can you marry a male villager? Do they follow you? In short, you really need to add more detail. This sounds incredibly complicated, yet there is very little explanation.
Anyway, I like villagers the way they are now. They suit me just fine, while this idea sounds like a bit too much.
If we can marry anyone, people would get squeamish about marrying possible an asexual person. If they have sexes, then how would the game differentiate between your anime skin and a pumpkin skin?
I think that this is a good idea. It would make the game seem more a live. It kind of reminds me of Skyrim in a sense. I do think it would make villagers more interactive and make them feel more alive. Support+
There is a mod that does exactly what you want.
You pick your gender at the start of a game. And villagers become human (not squidwards anymore). Then:
You can give them gifts and interact with them to build relationships.
You can marry villagers of the opposite gender. (By giving a golden diamond ring just as you describe).
Married couples can have kids.
You can give family members jobs to do to help you out.
It also makes these new human villagers more 'alive', since they actually seem to do jobs. Sleep. Eat. Etc.
Well if you want ideas look at the minecraft comes alive mod,its awseome.I like the feature in the mod that if u have a kid and u die in hardcore,you become the kid.

It's too RPG-ish for Minecraft. It'll feel weird marrying a squidward. You know?

Enjoy!
Including it as part of vanilla Minecraft might be a bit of a long haul though, as then you get into the whole 'Forge-as-the-official-API' debate.
It's the flying cutlery that stresses me out.
