Here's what my friend Jeeves said:
Love: What is this thing we all crave? Love is the affinity experienced between two people who are naturally able and willing to tune into one another's emotional, intellectual, and physical states - and respond to them in a nurturing and a stimulating way. No doubt about that then; love is a relationship. If you could just stir in some physical compatibility, you'd get something that's even better: a relationship that's both sexual and loving. Bliss!
Physical compatibility is often confused with style and ephemeral good looks. Although we might initially feel a strong visual attraction for someone, that feeling has, at best, limited value in a love relationship. Physical compatibility is long-term. It's about a shared appreciation of being together, and a shared enjoyment of intrinsic qualities such as natural scents, sounds, taste, form, and touch.
happiness is...flying saucers (and cups)
