@ poster,

all said and well understood.  This is my own perception of love

1.  when he becomes your friend in all you do
2.  when he does not hesitate to tell you that you are wrong and when right, he tells you too
3.  when he looks straight into your eyes and tells you , 'I LOVE YOU', 'YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL'
4.  he is not afraid to hold your hands in the public.  fights anyone who wants to relegate you.  brags about you everywhere.  protects your interest all the time.

5.  when he tells you his fears, anxieties, aspirations.  
6.  when he is angry and he sees you, it melts and people around wonders what you have given him to eat (maybe vegetable sha  )

7.  when he talks to you about marriage and he means it.  when he takes you to see his parents and siblings.  when he introduces you to everyone around.  when he proposes like a man.  

and many more,

1.  when he avoids sleeping with you till you are married. .  _{i am not condemning anyone who does that.  don't quote me}.

2.  when he says, 'darling, i bought this for you'.  'darling, you can go ahead and eat'.  'darling, i am looking at your tummy and how it will look when my baby boy gets in there'.  'darling, i had this dream, can we fast tomorrow and pray together?' .  ' darling, i see you are not praying as always again, is there anything wrong?"

3.  when he becomes his ALL when he is with you and vice versa.  when he daily aspires to make you the Very best.

4.  when he looks at you from afar, winks and tells the person next to him that 'that is my babe o.'

5.  when you offend each other and you settle it amicably without third party interference.

with this and many more, i know and i am confident that THIS IS TRUE LOVE.  not willing to trade that for anything in the whole universe.  the price is of inestimable value.
