Honestly. Day-Lewis is oozing some hard machismo in that movie. Women in that time were told who to marry, and she's suddenly presented with the manliest human to ever exist who basically turns up and pisses on her like a wolf marking his territory.
Couple that with her other suitor being that shriveling penis of a Major.
You're not wrong, though. A few beats would've helped us as the audience get into them more. But I get why they're into each other on that base level.
