I believe the answer is:

confused

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'illogical' is the definition.
('confused' can be a synonym of 'illogical')

'against getting married?' is the wordplay.
'against' becomes 'con' (I've seen this before).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'married?' becomes 'fused' (I've seen this before).
'con'+'fused'='CONFUSED'

'argument' is the link.
This may not be correct. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for confused that I've seen before include "Perplexed, befuddled" , "Bewildered, perplexed" , "Muddled" , "Mixed up in fun codes" , "Unable to think clearly, bewildered" .)
