DISCLAIMER:
While on the one hand, some churches hold marriage (and parenting up) to the point they turn it into an idol, there are some Christians out there (even the same ones who idolize it), who tell Christians that wanting to get married means you have made marriage into and idol. That is incorrect.
It is NOT wrong, selfish, or sinful to DESIRE MARRIAGE for yourself and to PURSUE IT. Desiring marriage does NOT equate to making it in to an idol.
