The writers try to depict them as "true love" but they fail. Emma has turned into a battered woman and Hook is ultimately a pointless character that the only thing that keeps him on the show is CS fanservice.

Everything in CS scenes speaks true love - the music, the atmosphere, etc... except the writing, but I don't think they do it deliberately, I just think the writers of this show are not very good.
