Should I consider moving Mom out of the room she shares with Dad due to her dementia?
Enjoy the moment! The fact that your parents are both happy living together and are much in love is a gift to them and to you. What is important is that your mom is pleased to be with your dad and knows who he is. It is not really important that she articulate that he is her husband. As time goes on, both of your parents may not be able to explain their relationship. If at some time in the future, they are adversarial with each other, you would need to revisit their living situation.
We often look at our parents through our eyes and forget that their vision is impacted by their disease. If you remain concerned about this issue, a discussion with the social worker at the facility would certainly be appropriate.
