as salam alykom waheed
Insh a Allah i will try my best with Allah's Guidance to reply to your question.
let me first rephrase it, you are asking about man/woman who was forced to marry someone they didnt want to. But they did observe Allah's Limits in dealing with the spouse.
Well Allah Say may you hate something and Allah puts in it much good.
"And live with them honourably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allah brings through it a great deal of good (Quran 4:19)
Thus, even if one does not really love the spous, yet did observe Allah's limits, treated the spouse. IN such case, you are actually treating the person in the name of Allah, doing so for the sake of Allah, regardless u love the person or not. The whole situation is dedicating one's life to Allah which we are all supposed to do. What do u think waheed, do u doubt that Allah Shall reward the person who accepted Allah's Decree, treated the spouse in the name of Allah, fulfilled one's duty? do u doubt the immense reward Allah Shall give this person? actually this is the real test, because in such case one is not treating the other person nicely because of love but rather only for Allah's Sake.
May Allah Reward all of us for being patient when we can.
