Is love between a man and a woman in marriage possible? Does Islamic law approve of such love if it is possible... and what happens if one is unable to find this love and one feels like they have lost out on one of life's big lessons? Are these feelings wrong and should they be pushed out...we are only created to worship Allah swt and all else is just false? Why this need for intimacy and nowhere to full fill it, should it just be ignored as a false need or does it need to be substituted for Love for Allah swt if so how?

Love between husband and wife is one of the characteristics that Allah Ta'ala Himself mentions in the Qur'aan. Volumes could be written onthelove Rasulullah showed for his wives and hsi exhortation in creating an intimate and Islamic relationship with ones spouse(s).

Allah Ta'ala states,

30:21 And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect.
