The purpose of marriage is not pleasure; rather, it is to establish a family, and to ensure the continuation of the nation of Mohammed (saw- may the peace & blessings of Allah be upon him).

Salaam

I have to object to this statement.  Allah created for us mates, and references to the physical pleasures of being with our mates is found in the Qur'an.

It  is not for humans to come along after the Qur'an and say "the purpose of marriage is not pleasure".

Nonsense. 

It should not be the SOLE purpose, but purpose it is.  Islam is the deen of TRUTH.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)

{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
