This is not a religious love; it is a natural marital love. It is not part of the religion, but is solely for the sake of the marriage, just as one loves food and drink, just as one loves food and drink and the necessities one needs. This is a natural love. However, if he loves her for her religion, that is loyalty to other than Allah the Exalted. Yes.
