The main idea of the poem is that one should not to give up pursuing a woman if at first she doesn't seem interested, because when she has finally been won over, her love will last forever. In other words, be patient, because a woman who is not easily wooed will provide the longest form of love.

The other one I’m not as sure of but I believe it would be showing the strength of his love for his wife, it could be the second one but I would say it wasn’t. The last answer choice is to literal and it can’t be comparing his life to a life without his wife’s love because it isn’t a simile or a metaphor which are for comparisons.
