In some religions having sexual instincts can encourage people to marry since
sex outside of marriage may be forbidden so to control these feelings they might
want to marry the person so they dont go against their religion. Whoever
among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and
guard his modesty... Prophet Muhammad.
In most religions one of the main purpose to marry is to start a family so a couple
might want to start a family but feel children should be raised in an environment
with married parents so they can be brought up in a certain religion and sex
outside marriage may be forbidden so to start the family they would need to get
married. For example a Muslim couple may marry so they can bring their children
up as practising Muslims.
