Evolution drives all life to reproduce. That is not a label thing. I would say ALL religions turn nature into a utopia comic book however. Even the bible says "be fruitful and multiply".
Humans evolved to group, and the bigger the group the more opportunity at access to resources and safety in numbers.
Marriage exists in every religion so this question to me misses a bigger issue that is ignored by far too many humans. Parents teach youth a script, instead of teaching the kid their own comfort level. Many parents and grandparents assume that the child has to get married and should get married. The problem with evolution is that it is not one size fits all, and blindly selling the idea of marriage to a child can set them up for huge problems if they are not self aware enough to think about if they really want kids or not.
I know for me personally, I bought that societal crap growing up. But now that I am wiser and older, I am glad I didn't have kids and looking back at it now, I never wanted them, but simply thought I did because that is what society expected of me.
