Si je ne sentais pas que je vous appartiens, que désormais mon existence est invinciblement liée à la vôtre, si en un mot je ne vous aimais pas avec passion, je n’aurais pas l’audace de vous interroger.

If I did not feel that I belong to you, that my life is now inextricably linked to yours; if, in short, I did not love you passionately, I would not have the audacity to ask you this.

Suggestion Pierre: that my life is now inextricably linked to yours; . . . I would not have the audacity to ask you this.
I find 'audacity' gives more depth of meaning than simply 'dare'.
