It doesn’t have to be either/or. Many of Hashem’s commandments also make us feel good. There’s nothing wrong with that. When you get married, you should do it a) because Hashem wants you to and b) because you want to. You should NOT get married to someone if you don’t genuinely personally want to do it, thinking it’s a pious thing to do. It’s not. You have to really be emotionally committed to it, or it won’t work.
