What are the supplications (duas) and ذكر (dhikr) that aid in marriage, and is it permissible to seek refuge in Allah from delayed marriage and spinsterhood/bachelorhood, and to repeat, "Oh Allah, I seek refuge in You from my being unwed, and from the delay of my marriage, and from its stagnation and slowness," and "Oh Allah, I entrust my soul to You, so protect me from spinsterhood/bachelorhood, and from not marrying, and from its delay and stagnation"?

Marriage is a preordained provision from Allah, and supplication (Du'a) is one of the most important means to achieve what is desired. There are no specific formulas for supplicating for marriage, and one can supplicate with phrases such as: "O Allah, I seek Your mercy, so do not abandon me to myself for the blink of an eye, and set all my affairs right for me. There is no god but You," and "O Allah, there is no ease except that which You make easy, and You make sorrow easy if You wish," and "O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, by Your mercy I seek assistance; set all my affairs right for me, and do not abandon me to myself for the blink of an eye." It is also recommended to fast to avoid falling into sin.
