I found this view of attitudes going into marriage to be interesting and helpful to re-enshrining "holy" marriage:
Beyond Hollywood Type Love: Choosing Commitment Over Chemistry
In addition to viewing marriage as a devoted commitment, rather than a impossibly life-long romantic infatuation as so many demand, we often forget God's take on marriage and making it a priority in our lives.
And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Adam was a very unaccomplished man at this point and yet he is married and commanded to populate the world (eventually and generationally)! I wonder how Eve viewed the prospects of her husband in the Garden?
The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Doctrine and Covenants 130:20-21
There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated—
And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated.
In my life, I discovered that obedience to God's command to marry and cleave is tied strongly to my blessings of financial prosperity. I am quiet hard to push on many things and I never pursued career or money particularly, but they came anyway, as if God was obligated to bless me this way.
In a practical application of the principles discussed here and in The Shape of Prosperity, any of us can push forward though the reservations, cultural hurdles and social fears that tell young people to put off or avoid productive marriage then family-building. It is my assurance to all that God blesses those that pursue and obey this "first commandment" of marrying and "cleaving". Those who do this will be prospered just as I have been in often miraculous ways.
Get married, the younger and less experienced, the better, Put your trust in the fact that God will prosper your obedience in cleaving and building a family. Then, the miracles will come.
