This brings up the question of who Radharani is and what Radha-Krsna is.
Actually Radha-Krsna is the exchange of love. This is not ordinary love;
 Krsna has immense potencies, of which three are principal: internal, external and marginal.
The internal hladini potency is the pleasure potency.
All living entities have this pleasure-seeking potency, for all beings are trying to have pleasure.
    This is the very nature of the living entity. At present we are trying to enjoy our pleasure
 potency by means of the body in this material condition. By bodily contact we are attempting to
derive pleasure from material sense objects. We should not think, however,
 that Krsna, who is always spiritual, tries to seek pleasure on this material plane like us.
 Krsna describes the material universe as a nonpermanent place full of miseries.
 Why, then, would He seek pleasure in the material form?
 He is the Supersoul, the supreme spirit, and His pleasure is beyond the material conception (Teachings of Lord Caitanya, Introduction).

In Goloka Vrndavana there is an exchange of love known as parakiya-rasa
. It is something like the attraction of a married woman for a man other than
 her husband. In the material world this sort of relationship is most abominable
 because it is a perverted reflection of the parakiya-rasa in the spiritual world,
where it is the highest kind of loving affair. Such feelings between the
devotee and the Lord are presented by the influence of yogamaya.
The Bhagavad-gita states that devotees of the highest grade are under the
 care of daiva-maya, or yogamaya. Those who are actually great souls (mahrtmas)
are fully absorbed in Krsna consciousness, always engaged in the service of the Lord.
They are under the care of daivi-prakrti, or yogamaya. Yogamaya creates a situation in
which the devotee is prepared to transgress all regulative principles simply to love Krsna.
A devotee naturally does not like to transgress the laws of reverence for the Supreme
 Personality of Godhead, but by the influence of yogamaya he is prepared to do anything
 to love the Supreme Lord better (Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi-lila chapter 4: purport by Srila Bhaktivedanta Svami Prabhupada)
