More then once when asked about Adalind he responded she is the mother of my child. For that reason I could see him marry Adalind.You seem to forget his confession of love to Adalind in 6x12. Marrying Adalind wouldn't be out of duty at this stage. Nick protecting Adalind at the beginning of S5 was out of duty. He had sex with her because he had the hots for her. At the end of S6, he's in love. You seem to be looking for one particular thing to prove that they loved each other when and ignoring what was written because of your own ideas about love. You say they lacked passion, I don't. They had more passion in a few handful scenes than four seasons' worth of Nick and Juliette being in love. For you, they couldn't be in love because to you passion reads: outward appearances of love like going out to dinner, buying flowers etc but I guarantee you this isn't the only ingredient to love or being in love. As beautifully seen in "Anna Karenina", Anna may have had wild passion for her lover but it was her husband who truly loved her and I can argue that she truly loved her husband in return but was blinded the false trappings of love she found in the other guy and ended her story quite tragically as a result.
The definition of passion is "strong and barely controllable emotion" and this is what Nick ultimately had for Adalind at the end. Ignoring it doesn't make Nick's deep feelings for Adalind to go away.

So you believe what ever keeps you happy me I’ll take the show as my evidence for thier love. As for passion the Nick and Adalind kiss 6x01 were more passionate with any kiss he shared with Juliette. The closest Nick and Juliette got to that level of passion is when she was waering Adalinds face on 4x6 of season 4.Yes Nick expreses, in his own limited way, the strength of his feelings for her. First when she left we know he wanted his son back but his feelings for Adalind only start slipping out when he talked with Trubel about Adalind "leaving" him. We see it in his eagerness in kissing her passionately the first time he sees her at the mansion and just before he leaves and in his conversation with her in 6x04 about almost "going crazy" without her. He mentions a second how affected he was when he found her gone later that night. A person who's not in love wouldn't have cared about Adalind leaving them or getting her back. If all he truly wanted/loved was his son, he's a grown man and would have said so.
Another thing during the Blind Love episode Nick was indifferent towards Juliette/Eve during that whole weekend away and more so when she threw herself at him. Before Nick laid eyes on Rosalee, he behaved oddly but he still acted like he was in a relationship with Adalind when he fetched her a cup of coffee while she stayed in bed. He had zero romantic feelings towards the woman who was his ex before and after the spell. And Adalind is the first thought he has once the spell is broken. There was no hesitation on his part, not even when Juliette/Eve was standing right next to him.
Nick has suffered loss over the course of the show and his life I believe that makes him reserved in expressing himself. Juliette once said she had to basically coax him into celebrating Christmas or something. So Nick was reserved when he first started dating Juliette and worked towards loosening up which is where we find him in 1x01. Unsurprisingly he's also extremely reserved with Adalind until circumstances forced his hand (Bonaparte and Zerstörer) I imagine he will loosen up over time and we know he did enough to maintain a twenty year relationship with Adalind.
