I think they loved each other, but I think Cora's yearn for power and Rumple's yearn for power was what caused it. Cora took her heart out because she loved Rumple. I think Cora did love him more than any other man, but I think she loved power more. I mean she did say so herself that she loved him, but without your heart you can't really ever truly love someone. Maybe if she would've kept her heart and chose him, it might would have worked eventually, but as someone has already said they weren't destined to be.
