In your view which of the following statements is the chief aim of marriage?
The chief aim of marriage varies from culture to culture and possibly from time to time.
In some cultures marriage is seen as the propagation of the male progeny.
In some other cultures marriages are conducted purely to retain family wealth within, say, two families.
Then there are marriages that are conducted mainly for the fulfillment of religious duties.
In some cultures temporary marriages (say, for 3 hours, 1 day etc.) is allowed just to satisfy the sexual urges of consenting adults who do not want a permanent arrangement.
You could think of many more, but what would you consider is the chief aim of marriage?
Pick your choice:
- Fellowship, companionship, mutual help and comfort.
- Procreation for the propagation of family lineage.
- Procreation as insurance for old age support.
- Fulfillment of religious duties.
- Sexual pleasure.
- To grow in selflessness and to love your spouse and his/her family as your own which then becomes the stepping stone to love everyone else.
- Others (Please Specify).

I think 'Fellowship, companionship, mutual help and comfort' and 'To grow in selflessness and to love you spouse and his/her family as your own which then becomes the stepping stone to love everyone else' would be nice but probably not the true aim of marriage. 'Procreation for the propagation of family lineage' is probably more likely for most cultures.
I think many people actually get married because they feel obliged to be accepted by society. However, I wouldn't like to call that the chief aim.

Aunque esta resulte ser la respuesta afirmativa Crecer en la abnegación y amar a su cónyuge y a su familia como propios, lo que luego se convierte en la primera piedra para amar a todos los demás.
considero que esta no sera posible si ambos conyugues no tienen el mismo norte, por tal fin infinidades de parejas se han separado abandonando a sus hijos sin ningun remordimiento.
Por otro lado creo que Compañerismo, compañerismo, ayuda mutua y consuelo. se da desde el momento que entablas una relacion de amistad con tu futuro conyugue, por tal motivo unifican sus valores y tratan de sostenerse el uno al otro en momentos duros
posterior a esto su proxima meta como parejas es Procreación para la propagación del linaje familiar. aunado al Placer sexual, si se tiene estos fundamentos solidos se podra llevar a cabo La procreación como seguro de apoyo a la vejez.
Pero del mismo si no se tiene como prioridad obedecer a un mandato divino este puede ser violado fácilmente:
Cumplimiento de deberes religiosos.

You are the first one to vote for "Procreation for the propagation of family lineage." I wonder whether this is the chief aim of marriage in your own culture? Would be interesting to know the details.

From where I came from, marriage is considered to be sacred and a respectful ceremony. When a couple decided to get married, they are meant to be together for the rest of their life and stay committed to one another.

Thanks for the vote, @funtraveller. Marriage used to be a sacred and respectful ceremony in many cultures throughout the world. That is slowly changing now. It is nice to hear that in your culture marriage is still considered sacred and respectful and couples commit themselves for their lives.
I notice that you are photographer. You may find this new dapp, https://photochain.io, far more profitable for monetizing your photos than the centralized stock photo marketplaces. Check it out, if you have not already.

Thanks for your vote, @hafizullah. I reckon many Muslims will vote as you have voted. Probably some Christians would vote the same way.

I would place the above as the chief aim and "Fellowship, companionship, mutual help and comfort" as the secondary aim.
I am of the view that when you consider "To grow in selflessness and to love your spouse and his/her family as your own which then becomes the stepping stone to love everyone else." as the chief aim, the secondary aim of "Fellowship, companionship, mutual help and comfort" is automatically taken care of.
