We know it is wrong to marry for money. Is it also wrong to marry for love? Is there a third category, marrying for God’s will, that is mutually exclusive from these other two and therefore superior?

Or, if there is love in a marriage is there God?
Are there cases where a loving marriage is ungodly?
Its possible to love each other, without God but this is extremely rare. Its possible, for example my auntie lives with her secondary school partner, they are still together 40 years later, have the same interests and they have children and are in each others lives and their kids lives. They are not married. Its possible to love each other without marriage. Marriage does not make the man, faithfulness and support make the man.
