The first story regarding people in the Torah is the narrative of Adam marrying Chava (Eve.) The first mitzva given Man in the Torah is the mitzva to bear children, "pru u'revu". Chassidut explains that this world is characterized by a confrontation between physicality and spirituality. The fundamental purpose of humanity is to discover the 'holy sparks' of the Divine in the physical reality. Marriage is the central arena for achieving this goal.
