this is a relationship you are describing
a strong, dedicated relationship
full of love, maybe
and i do so wish you
but love does not only exist in marital-like relationship
if the feeling of love is not what you mean by 'love', that's your choice
but love is a feeling, for me
and that feeling does not apply only to lifelong companions but to lots and lots of people we have in our lives, thank God!!
