A spouse plays many roles in a person's life: friend, companion, guide, mentor, lover, etc.
The whole point here is that AJ will want to put the MS on her because he gives Guddan the place of a wife officially. He would accept her in all the roles above, but the lover role will take a long time for him. Until then I see nothing wrong with AJ putting the MS on for other roles he sees Guddan in. It would still be dil se his respect and appreciation of her as his wife.
A relationship is a recipe which involves main ingredients like understanding, trust, acceptance, duties, rights, transparency and love from both parties.
As to make a recipe in desired way you have to put all ingredients in some fixed proportion and have to follow a sequence of instructions, although sometimes the sequence of adding main ingredients and their proportion can differ from person to person, in the same way, to make a RISHTA successful you must have all above mentioned ingredients in the batter, especially love which acts as a binder and shape maker.To get right consistency of thickness you have to achieve a certain level of all those ingredients with time.
Here both knows and understands the needs of their relationship & deep down they are ready to give everything to their relationship except the warmth of love, the perfect binder for lifetime which both are unsure of providing to each other.
In short AJ can accept her as PATNI, a wife in his life but right now seeing Guddan as his PREMIKA, a lover in his life, shayad AJ se Na Ho Payega😆
