”Encouraged for you on the night of the fast is the approach to your wives. They are your garments and you are theirs. God knows what you used to do secretly among yourselves, but He turned to you and forgave you. So associate with them now, and seek what G-d has ordained for you…” 2:187

The word I translated as “encouraged” in the verse above is “halal”. I interpreted it this way because of the phase “so associate with them now”, and because what believer does not feel encouraged to do a thing which God has explicitly made halal, and which He has in no way discouraged?

Even if your love life is good, or even great, it can always be better. And when better to improve your love life than Ramadan; the time when we are most clear-thinking, most physically cleansed, and most spiritually attuned?
