It is love. Something older than humanity. Something glorious.
The best part of it is God lets his creatures to express it on their way, including by playing words.
When we were on a trip by a car, and I sighed when having my back tired.
My Wife : Are you "all right"?
I : The most, yes, but not always. In some circumstances, I use my "left" foot and hand to do something. See, I'm left-handed in moving the gears, and, I drive at the left.
My wife thanks me.
My Wife: Thank you sayang.
I : "Selamat datang" honey.
My Wife: Hah? Kok Selamat Datang?
I : Am I wrong? The complete "You're welcome" is attached with the word "welcome" as its suffix. And, what does "welcome" mean?
At the kitchen, when my wife was preparing our breakfast.
I : What's this honey?
My Wife : Oh, that's fish ball (bakso from fish meat), dear.
I : Sort of fish? This is the strangest fish I've ever seen. I can't see where its head and tail. And, how does it swim btw?
Saying love to my wife.
I : I love u sayang.
My Wife : I love u too.
I : I love u three
My Wife : Hah? Why "three"?
I : You said two (too) then I said three, meaning I love u more :D
My Wife : Oooo, okay, I love u four, then.
I : I love u five.
My Wife : I love u six.
... and we are still counting, to show who loves more.
On the phone, when we were right before ending the conversation.
I : I love u too
My Wife : Hey, when did I say "I love u?". It would lead friend of yours around you assuming that I spoke it first.
I : He.. he.. he..
To thank my wife.
I : Thank u honey. You love me very much (instead of saying I love u very much)
My Wife : Hah?
Once in a chit-chat with my wife, I told her that I can not say "the best, the most beautiful, and the other most things" to describe her. She looked upset. Oh, sure. Every single wife would be.
When we attach "the best" as an attribute to a thing, it means that there are array of the similar ones. Let's say "the best rose", so there would be "good rose, common rose, bad rose, et cetera".
So what's in your mind if you just replace the word "rose" above with "wife".
"You are a good wife honey". "Good" represents singularity, one and 1 only.
Just after hearing this, my wife smiled and hugged me. She was really happy then.
