Peasants had little reason to marry aside for love. But for wealthier people, money and power were strong considerations in those days. Even so, some of the richest and most powerful people in medieval Europe married for love.
I have long suspected that the legend about why William the Conqueror and Matilda of Flanders married was a fiction and that they actually married for love. But we can be fairly sure that the reason Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II married was because they were in love.
And actually, love is a central issue in medieval thinking, just as it is now, and this can be seen by the fact that it is a central issue in medieval literature, such as the Arthurian legends and the Canterbury Tales.
