Who should offer marital advice?

[Mark C]

So - to the specific point:

For married couple to stay together, there must be effort made for the sake of relationship which requires good reason. If this reason is just social pressure or something outside, then relationship will start disingrating automatically by removal of keeping force.

The 'good reason' is a specific Covenanted commitment before YHVH.

And I can answer did you read Scripture.

Proverbs starts with everal chapters of advice of running away from "seductress". How can marriage with her be good idea?

@ASyers41's post has spared me from writing rest of my case.

Marriage per se is good, but not with anyone.

The first chapters of Proverbs speak of a strange woman who as you find out in chapter 7 is MARRIED and seeking the affections of others.

Pro 7:17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
Pro 7:18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
Pro 7:19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
Pro 7:20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
Pro 7:21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
Pro 7:22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
Pro 7:23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

Attraction is sociological and biological basis of marriage. It's existence means both members of couple want to have children together.

Strangely how institution which only exist because of children suddenly becomes workable after primary actors start to want to have children together. I wonder why?

I just want to be sure I understand you? So attraction only comes when you want a baby with your partner? If that is correct then all the older folks who get married will never be attracted to their partners? That seems really boring to me…
