Istikhara is non-obligatory, so it's not a requirement or obligation to perform before marriage, but it's highly recommended. Istikhara is only to ease a believer by helping him make a decision between two matters of which would be best for his future and iman, eg. getting married to so-and-so, or not.
Also, anything could better someone's iman, even divorce, so it can't be said that divorce wouldn't occur even if istikhara was to be performed.

Does that help?
Fi aman Allah
wsalaam
Yes it does and it is said marriages are made in heaven is that true in our religion?
Oh lord make my best deeds the last deeds
Oh lord make my best day the last day (aakhirah)
In a way, yes. Everything is predestined and nothing occurs without Allah's permission. Therefore, whoever you marry can only and is only willed by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
