Might be ing

Hi everyone,
Can you please explain about this structure" might be +ing"? What's its difference with "might"?

In the TV show " How I Met Your Mother"
Ted and his friend Marshall have a dispute over who gets the apartment so they sit down and discuss to settle their dispute.

Marshall: You don't need two rooms.
Ted: Like you need to rooms.
Marshall: We might be starting a family soon.

Why didn't he say "' we might start a family soon"?
