No, I think they do love each other. There's no other explanation for why they put up with each other. They have some issues that they disagree about, as many couples do, but that doesn't mean they don't like each other. To the contrary, they appear to like each other enough that they stay together in spite of their disagreement.
Lex normally behaves according to cold scientific logic, and there is no logical rational reason for him to tolerate Lana's stupid and disloyal behavior. He is struggling to save the human race from superpowered aliens, using any means he can, and she is sneaking around pointlessly interfering with him. Since there isn't any logical reason for Lex to refrain from throwing her out the window, as he threatened to do with Jimmy, it can only be an emotional reason that stops him. So he does seem to love Lana, and that overrides logic and common sense, which would tell him to get rid of her.
Lana for her part, has suddenly done a flip flop from her supportive attitude toward Lex's work a couple of weeks ago, and gotten it into her head that Lex is about to go into mad scientist mode and destroy the world. So she is trying to keep Lex from going too far, and is doing it for what she thinks is his own good. If Lana really believes this, it would again be more logical for her to simply leave Lex. But again her feelings for him override logic.
