Survival

To answer the first question, if I lived in a state where the head powers governing us were weak or absent, then I would marry for survival if I needed to be married. In that type of society, being with someone that would be able to best provide for you, I believe would be much more essential than marrying for love. If one's able to find someone that they love and would be able to protect them, than this would be ideal, but every situation is different and depends on many things. That was hard to write down for me since I am fortunate enough to live in a society where we don't have to worry about surviving, necessarily, and we can marry for love or not at all if we don't want. I would like to think that everyone has that that chance but unfortunately they don't. Also, back to the survival category, the families are much closer and supportive, so those families love and care for the family as a whole more so than a society like ours, where we are much more individualistic. There, it would be much easier to marry for survival because of the support and love of the entire family than here.
