This has already been discussed in this thread - see the discussions, and follow the links in those discussions.

Essentially, while Rukmini is unanimously accepted as Lakshmi avatar, opinion is divided on Radha.

hey friends janha tak mughe pata hai wo ye ki har koi devta kisi na kisi karan is dharti par roop leta khabhi to dushto ka sanhar karne to kabhi manav jati ko kuchh samjhane jaisa ki mahabharat ka yudha sirf is baat ko samjhane ke liye hua tha ki adharm kitna bhi majboot kyo na ho ant mai jeet saty ki hoti hai

anyway i come to the point

baat darsal mai ye hai ki maa radha or rukmani sabhi maa laghmi ka hi avtar hai alag alag roop lekar wah manav jati ko alag tarah ki shikgha pradan karti hai

or vaise bhi kahte hai na bhagwan to ek hi hai bas uske roop or use dekhne ka andaaj alag alag hai

It is always said that Laxmi and Vishnu's is a divine love and that whenever Vishnu's avtaar comes to earth.. laxmi also takes the human form and comes down to be his life partner. For example when vishnu came down as Ram, Laxmi came down as sita and likewise when Vishnu came down as Krishna .. she comes down as Rukmini.
Radha's love for Krishna is more Bhakti and devotion than Love. But his wife is always Laxmi ie. Rukmini.
Another interesting fact is that even the Shesh Nag ... Vishnujis snake incarnated with him. In his Ram incarnation as Laxman and in his Krishna incarnation as Balram.

It is explained by Krishna why the Lord takes a human form by the shloka:

Yada Yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata
abhyuthmanam adharmasya tadatmanam srjamy aham
(Gita, chapter 4, Verse 7)

Literary Translation: Whenever righteousness falls and
unrighteousness grows the Almighty reveals His
presence! The Supreme though unborn and undying,
becomes manifest in human form to overthrow the forces
of ignorance and selfishness.

Basically it is when Dharma is under attack and is overwhelmed by Adharma then for the protection and preservation of dharma the Lord will come in its defence.

There is plenty of evidence to contend that neither Lakshmi, nor Adisesha have to accompany Vishnu when he comes to earth.

In Matsya avatar, when Vishnu took the form of a horned fish (not a swordfish), he needed a snake to tie him to the boat that saved the saptarshis. Here, he could have used Sesh nag - his serpantine throne - as a chain, but didn't. Instead he used Vasuki.

In Kurma avatar, he married Lakshmi in his original form, and so that was where Lakshmi entered. But here too, in the samudra manthan, he again used Vasuki, rather than Sesha-nag as the rope used to rotate the mountain.

In Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana and Parashurama avatars, neither Lakshmi nor Sesha nag went w/ him. Granted, Varaha and Narasimha were really brief, and so they were not needed, and besides, there was no role for Lakshmi there. But Sesha Nag could have accompanied him as a warrior, but didn't.

In Vamana avatar, I think Vishnu was there for a while - don't think he grew overnight. There would have been no role for Sesha Nag here, but Lakshmi didn't incarnate to be Vamana's wife.

In Parashuram avatar, Vishnu took that form (and left it according to some accounts after Parashuram's encounter w/ Rama). Parashuram lived throughout the Treta and Dwapar Yugas. Despite that, Lakshmi didn't incarnate to marry him, and Sesha Nag didn't incarnate to be his companion.

In Rama avatar, Valmiki doesn't claim that Lakshman is Sesha-nag: by that account, Lakshman is part of Vishnu himself, as is Bharat & Shatrughan. It's in Adhyatma that Lakshman is Sesha Nag.

In Kalki Avatar, Lakshmi is supposed to incarnate as Ramaa and marry him, but Sesha Nag isn't scheduled to come w/ him.
