I don't doubt that Rael did love Zira, or that he does love Tali, but the advancement of his career does seem to have an overriding priority in most circumstances. That, combined with his fixation on reconquering Rannoch and disapproval of anything not clearly aimed at that end (such as his daughter's choice of pilgrimage), doesn't paint the most admirable of pictures.

It probably doesn't help that we mostly know about him from Tali the Elder's correspondence; her exasperated tone when speaking of his decisions and family interaction is genuinely felt, but she may not be seeing the whole picture when it comes to his household.
