I'm embarassed to admit, my first marriage was for the sake of having a family. My plans were to have my masters degree and a husband by the time I was 30 and to have a second child by the time I was 32. I didn't marry until I was 30 -- but I made the rest of the goals. Although the marriage was a total flop, I adore my children and would not undo having them just to avoid the failed marriage.
However, at 42, I'm marrying Lebell for true love. I would never suggest "settling" to anyone. The stress is awful!
