I guess what's throwing me is that you've said you went into therapy due to marriage problems and potential divorce. That seems like a pretty well defined parameter of issues to work through.
This whole love thing between therapist/client takes it in a different direction. Frankly, seems off to me, but I also get the sense this is a diversion from your real life relationship problems and maybe you resist it, but like it at the same time. While one relationship is floundering (marriage) you've got this other person who's almost courting you.
Maybe take some time to sort out what your first priority is for therapy? And then be the one to set that course.
btw, I think a kind of love can be present in certain types of therapy, but it's different than the way your therapist has described it or demonstrated it. That's me, though.
