I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but I'll bite. OK, my two cents is:
I knew I was in love with my wife when I realized I care more about her happiness than just about anything. I've been infatuated many times, but often was more concerned about my needs at the end of the day. I am experiended enough to know I am selfish, lol, so it was not normal for me to place someone else's wants/needs above my own.
Having said that, being 'in love' in my vocabulary is not the same as LOVE, loving them. To me, love is a verb, and not the tingly feelings. I love her by showing her how much she means; opening the door for her, providing for her needs, and making her happy however I can. I still have the "tingles", which many people interpret as love, but it's not the same thing. Love is a word tossed around too often today, with 50% of marriages ending in divorce.
Any other thoughts?
