We're supposed to believe that it's because Superman isn't supposed to "put one above the rest," except that Jor-El and Lara had to assume Superman would be adopted by SOMEONE to whom he would hold some sort of loyalty. Besides, would they rather he have a girlfriend and have his powers, or just give them up and be with her?
* For what it's worth, Superman and Lois married in the comics in 1996 'til reboot did them part in 20011.

** Relating to this, there's something I've wondered. Didn't Jor-El tell him in the first movie that if he helped out too much, then humanity becomes too dependent on him? That being the case, it would seem to me that having a relationship in his civilian life wouldn't hurt.

** Except, '''''except''''' that scene happened ''before'' he gave up his powers. The real reason given seems to be that he wanted to live a normal life, and not have to have his attention divided between his love of Lois and having to jet off at a moment's notice to save the world. It also set up the "Prodigal Son" scene where Kal-El, having given up his birthright, goes back to beg forgiveness of his father, and is allowed to be Superman again.

* The Richard Donner Cut answers this to some degree. Jor-El foresaw the possibility that Kal-El would want to give up his powers to be with an Earth woman. He also foresaw the possibility that Kal-El would change his mind. Since Jor-El was about to die on Krypton anyway, he imbued the green crystal with all his Kryptonian life essence, which Kal-El could use to regain any of his powers he'd given up ... once. "The son becomes the father, and the father the son."

** As a side note, ''Lois Lane'' spent the better part of the years before this movie scheming and plotting to make Superman marry her, often against his will and in utterly ridiculous ways, in the comics. So much for being a moral arbiter.

* Nothing wrong with non-self-destructive sex between two consenting adults. That and the issue of "making her an honest woman" was only a problem in societies where women would be refused marriage opportunities if they weren't virgins, which isn't the case anymore. The sexual revolution was 40 years ago, long before this movie- long enough for Superman, Lois, and the audience to have grown up in and been familiar with it. The only thing they did wrong was not using a condom and/or not making sure Lois took The Pill afterwards.
