Very strange. How can our good God find you someone whom is not right for you to marry? It is you who are against God when you marry someone whom you doesn't love.
I don't believe that doing this is against God but perhaps not a wise thing to do is some instances.

Is it okay to marry someone just to have children? For example, if you prayed for and found someone (and you also think God has led him/her to you), however you are not "in love" with this person, would you get married? You do like this person though and could see yourself with this person long-term (he's loyal, kind, etc.). I would especially like to hear from divorced people with kids.
I dont see it as a problem personally, you are not sinning by marrying someone just for children's sake. If we struggle with sexual sin, then we are advised to get married.
