What is the difference between Michael Corleone’s marriage to Apollonia Vitelli and Kay Adams?

Michael showed true emotion and lust for Apollonia.

The marriage to Kay seemed more business as,

……”Don’t ask me about my business”…..

This is a real question: Why do a lot of men/boys hate (yes, hate) women that voice their criteria in choosing a partner? Even when the criteria is sane and responsible. Besides it being, sadly, an effective mating strategy, why does it exist?

That relationship became more distant until it came apart in Godfather II,

…..”I should marry somebody to carry on the family name”…..
