"And of His signs is this that He created for you, your wives from your own species that you may find peace with them and created love and mercy between you. Surely in this there are many signs for those who reflect". (Chapter 30, Verse 21)
"Find peace with them" or (better wording) "dwell in tranquility with them"
My italics are the main point I wish to emphasize. the creator has put that love and mercy (this word is a poor and less expressive for the Arabic word "Rahmah". This is His deliberate design---the intense attraction a man feels towards woman and a woman towards a man (go beyond and further than sex) is purposeful. There are two words used not one, both are equal essential ingredients (love by itself is insufficient and 'mercy' by itself is insufficient to complete the purpose, both spouses therefore need to 'reflect'.
I promise I'll write more on this subject after Ramadan.
