Shir Ha-Ma'alot #30
On the Sheva Berachot – "He created everything for His honor"
Baruch Hashem, you got married! You must remember that the purpose of marriage is not solely for one person to benefit from another, but rather to increase the honor of Hashem. Rabbi David Abudraham wrote in the name of Rabbi Meir Ha-Levi Abulafia: This blessing was established in order to remind us that the essence of the wedding is to increase people in the world, "And this is the honor of God, since the honor of the Creator is only through His creations." "Everything which the Holy One, Blessed be He, created in His world, He only created for His honor, as it says: ‘Every one that is called by My Name, for I have created him for My glory, I have formed him, and I have made him’" (end of Pirkei Avot, Yeshaya 43:7). We must always remember for the reason that we are found here on earth: To increase the honor of Hashem.
