Humans have things that are called emotions. The word love refers to one of them. From the positive emotions that humans can feel it’s a quite strong one.
Feeling positive emotions has been shown to provide a bunch of health effects.
Human who are deprived of positive emotions also tend to do a lot of very irrational stuff to feel well. Especially when they are intelligent they are usually good at rationalizing their behavior.
Once basic emotional needs are fulfilled it’s usually easier for humans to make decisions that are actually rational in other area’s.
