The definition of love is
"An evolutionary process which prompts sexual partners to stay together and protect their offsprings and ensure the continuation of their species. "
An offspring without parent is unlikely to survive to adulthood. An offspring with just a mother is likely to be killed by a rival male partner when the next mating season comes. Having two parents is clearly the best evolutionary mechanism to ensure the protection of offsprings (another common method is mass-production whereby a single couple can produce hundreds or thousands of offsprings in their lifetime - in which case it doesn't really matter if 95% of the offsprings die before adulthood)
Members of any given mammal species are naturally attracted to subjects who possess high-quality genes because of the inherited properties of DNA. Healthy partner = healthy offsprings.
Personally I think that if someone is in love with someone who isn't good looking and isn't intelligent; that person has a mental defect (they are evolutionarily retarded) because it goes against the principles of natural selection.
Sometimes an unattractive (intellectually and/or physically unattractive) specimen will settle with an equally unattractive specimen because they don't have much choice. Unfortunately, these parent's offsprings are 'more often than not' equally unattractive and it's not long before that evolutionary branch becomes plagued by genetic diseases (caused by repeatedly having to settle for lower-quality genes) and thus this gene pool culled out of existence.
It's a very simple process really.
