How were the Dwarves able to reproduce?

I used to wonder about that too. There's a line from
Letters that says
Quote:

And [Ilúvatar] commanded Aulë to lay the fathers of the Dwarves severally in deep places, each with his mate, save Dúrin the eldest who had none.

That being the case, makes one wonder how Dúrin's line (including Thorin et al) came to be.
