Nothing clear-- this appears to be a sort of mixed metaphor. One idiom referred to is 'reading between the lines', which means interpreting what is unsaid, inferring what the other person is not saying directly. The other saying involved is 'love is blind to the flaws/faults of the beloved', which means that when we are enamoured of someone, we do not see their weakpoints (which only become apparent after marriage).
