He was doing okay until he got to the seperate bed business (excluding the cycle) and this "marriage & love" have nothing to do with each other. The music thing is very true. Once upon a time, with my live-in girlfriend while having music playing and then something comes on that you don't like, and it dampens the whole union....if you get up and change it like I did. I think if a man has not experienced having a best friend who also becomes his wife, could never understand the closeness of becoming one. Sleeping in the same bed I feel is looked at in some communities as some sort of constant temptation, but it's not true. Two people, plus one bed, do not have to equate to sex....for those with some sort of restraint who can look past their mate in terms of sex. That's a bad trait and I think that's where this whole teaching comes from. Hashem did not create man and woman to share this union of closeness and love, and finally the mitzvot of procreation if it wasn't supposed to be. It's very obvious many have never experienced the love for another that can only be found within the closeness of a couple. Lust, I believe is often the reason these teachings came about for those who have lack of control and can't just hold or "spoon" with their mate. It's a sad thing...taking love out of the equation of marriage. Depending on what manner one takes, Song Of Songs, as Rashi highlighted, i.e., being allegory, it still uses language used and attributed to one's wife and vice versa.
