I admit that part of my wish for this not to be the case is exactly what you said, which is that Luke/Mara is one of my favorite fictional pairings ever. But I think that the idea of complete repression of all desires for love and sex is hardly a healthy one if it's imposed from outside, and it's difficult to tell whether it's truly what you want or not if you've been raised from childhood to believe that This Is How It Must Be Or Else. There is a significant difference between voluntary monasticism, or devotion to a cause/lifestyle at the expense of certain other parts of life, and enforced involuntary sacrifice of those parts of life.

I wouldn't say no to the idea that some or even many Jedi choose a life of celibacy for the sake of focusing more on their calling, but I don't think that forcing it on them (especially those who come to it later in life) is the kind of thing that will give rise to a healthy emotional state. I also can't see Luke as the kind of person who would ever force or manipulate others the way the Jedi Council from the prequels does, so I can't see him going around telling all the Force-sensitive people he finds on his "restore the Jedi" travels "You aren't allowed to get married or have children or fall in love because I'm the Jedi Master and I said so." I can see him explaining to them how celibacy might help them as Jedi and leaving it up to them to choose, but I can't see him descending with wrath on anyone who trains as a Jedi and then falls in love.
