« Voudrais » vs « aimerais »

Hello, I had to translate « I would like some more love in my life ». My understanding was that voudrais is used when I’m asking for something to be given to me, such as a drink or object, and aimerais is used when I would like something to happen as opposed to being given a physical object. However, this was marked wrong. Is using aimerais in this example very unnatural? Thank you!

This question relates to:French lesson "Je voudrais vs je veux to say that you want something in French"

The lesson is on using “vouloir”, and the quiz is testing the lesson.
