Honest question: do TBMs generally marry for love or just to check a box on a religious to do list? (Argument with wife, feeling down)

I only have 1 question. Do you have children?

If no, I'd start start divorce proceedings now and start over with someone that loves you as a person, instead of just as a fantasy role play partner.

Children complicate matters 1000%, and in scenarios like this, I would highly recommend cutting your losses and starting over with someone that's actually a partner in a relationship instead of a celestial warden.

Your wife already told you the truth. She doesn't love you, she loved what you represented. She isn't in this with her soul mate, you're merely her ticket to super VIP heaven.

This women didn't marry you, she married the church.

With your 'disobedience' the church has now placed you in an adversarial relationship with your spouse and there's only a few choices about how to proceed from there.

None of which are pretty and none of which are mentally healthy except for perhaps escape and de-programming.
