Their love story really is woven throughout the entire show from episode one of "Rose" all the way through to "Journey's End." It's even a tenor of the show during series three and four when Rose isn't (mostly) there. For RTD, this new Who wasn't just a sci-fi story, clearly it was his opportunity to tell an epic love story. And he succeeded.
You know, someone was doing the 7 ships meme and commented that it was amazing how RTD, Eccleston & Piper managed to make shipping a 900-year old alien and 19-year old shopgirl work, and then RTD, Piper & Tennant managed to catch lightning in a bottle twice. And they were totally right. It could have fallen apart after Eccleston left, but Piper and Tennant had a different kind of chemistry, one that worked for the changing relationship of the Doctor and Rose and kept it going beautifully.
