Sounds like you've got a good one, there. I can't think of anyone i'd do this for. Maybe someday...

Can't be your hubby, must be your son.

Well, my wife is not really in a position to DO anything for me anymore. Her smile is what tells me; I love her radiant smile.

 

[Garvarg]

She waits for me. When I get home she is happy to see me. She runs to the door, kisses me repeatedly and wants my affection in return. Now if only I could get my wife to be more like the dog things would be great.

He must love you! He certainly never did that for me!
(Oh, wait... where am I? And, uh... Right. Sorry... Just kidding... Ha! )

My God, there's a million things, from giant, Shakespearean-quality efforts to little daily gestures that give me the warm fuzzies every time I see her.
The way she looks at me when we say "Hello."
The way she caresses my face or runs her hand through what little hair I've got left.
The way she can keep a string of bad puns alive.
The way [XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX CENSORED XXXXXXXXXXXX] without getting arrested.
The way she so effortlessly navigates around my eccentricities.
The way we say "thank you" at the same time.

...I could go on and on.

If you are looking for the theoretical best proof that someone loves you, I would say spontaneously making hot chocolate for two on long winter evenings. But starting your car is very close as well!

Henry Fonda has a line in Yours, Mine anOurs He says to a stepdaughter, "Love is not about going to bed. Love is about getting up in the morning." The coversation took place as he was moving her mother to the hospital for her 9th, and his 11th but their 1st, baby's delivery. Based on a true story.

From the Bible. Love suffers long, and is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not put itself forward, is not puffed up, does not behave itself unseemly, and does not seek its own way. Love and is not easily provoked. Love thinks no evil, and does not rejoice in evil, but rejoices in the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Umm. Quite interesting. I don't know that film, but I must look for it. It's very curious, because I had use a variation of that sentece. Some months ago, I said: "I don't want to go bed with her, but I want to get up with her!" (Of course, I said it on Spanish: "No quiero acostarme con ella, quiero levantarme con ella").

Food poisoning: both ends going at the same time. And not only is she not grossed out, but she helps me get through it and makes me feel okay.

That, and when she lets me spend hours on CFC without bothering me...

 

[Raijer]

Very nice. A good one for me, and it's kinda related to the Sultan's, is my girlfriend will say, "Why don't you play Civ for a couple of hours?"

 

[CurtSibling]

When the person hands over a large sum of cash, that is lovely!

 

[Zcylen]

aaaaaah!
c'est L'amour!

dont let him go!

 

[gr8ful wes]

When I get home on a cold day and there is a hot meal waiting. I can smell it when I get out of the car. mmmmmmm

I know she loves me because she gave me 2 great presents, my little kids.

enough of this now.

 

[Simon Darkshade]

Hmm... One is beyond such human things, and shall never experience them. But Curt's idea does sound interesting...
