Seems a little vague as to what you’re asking, but I’ll have a bash.
Man/Woman love is very individualised in our current dimension, and jealousy can rightly kick in to defend our need of special relationship in our courtship/marriage. In the dimension prepared for us our needs will differ – the need of the starving is not the need of the satisfied; the need of the incomplete not that of the complete. Heaven will perfect our inner needs, enabling a greater heart & mind intimacy with all fellow citizens. As the husk becomes redundant, so will the glory of marriage.
Its sexuality is in principle a blessing to us now – in certain stages in life. It allows fruition & special intimacy – two good reasons why it’s only valid for marriage. The life to come will exclude fruition – humanity will have come to it. The thrills of sexual play will have been a foretaste of the greater joy, as eating chocolate is a lower pleasure than God-intended lovemaking.
To the now part of you post. I don’t think the emotion of love as important as the commitment of love. The west prefers the idea of the emotion kicking off marriage (or at least some lower level of sexual union), yet arranged marriages have a fair bit of justification: both styles are open to abuse. Generally we marry when the factors of who we will have and who will have us combine – it’s a bit haphazard though making ourselves attractive to the complementary sex can be wise. In exceptional cases God matchmakes for mission.
