Fiqh of Marriage

I am of age and unmarried. I have a interest based credit card and loan which requires monthly repayments. Should I focus on clearing the loans as soon as I can from the salary I get (as “legally” I am bound to pay it with interest), or should I pay only the monthly payments and focus on getting married? I feel like I should repay and get rid of usury as soon as possible, just want to be sure.
