In practice, it equates to something like - I love my wife because - something which isn't exactly easy to put into words of course, given the nature of the feeling, which is, in itself, continuous, and ever changing, and subject to different degrees of sincerity, amongst other factors.
And then in contrast, I think you are a Bad person, or the action you have just done is "bad" or "rude" rather because... sometimes even that is hard to quantify in words, depending on the nuance and articulateness of the person, not to mention a billion other factors, such as the contributor to the sense of write and wrong, the state and mood at the time of judgment, and the biases held against the causation, or nature of the thing being evaluated as good or bad in itself.
So on those grounds, I would have to disagree with you. I believe in Good and Bad, Right and Wrong, Love and Hate, and any other number of binaries and subjectivity - simply because I believe when people rationalize about things, ultimately, they create these constructs, and make them real within their own frames of reference. If that isn't real, than I don't know what is.
Nobody who has experienced real emotion, on any level, and real feelings can deny their existence - they are subjective, of course, but that doesn't make them less real.
