Power is also a theme. In the Wheel of Time, power can both attract and repel in love stories. Tuon's power as the Daughter of the Nine Moons is part of what draws Mat to her, but also creates barriers as they come from different power structures and have to navigate how their relationship will work within those contexts.
One main theme is sacrifice. Characters often have to sacrifice their personal desires for the greater good, which affects their love relationships. For example, Rand may have to give up his relationship with Egwene to fulfill his role in saving the world.
Another theme is identity. As the characters grow and discover more about themselves, it impacts their love. Perrin's discovery of his wolfbrother side changes how he relates to Faile. He has to come to terms with this new part of himself and how it fits into their relationship.
