1. You can't prove that you love someone, so don't expect proof of God

Love is an empirical measurement of personal value and sacrifice.

It is our mortality not our faith or attachment to the supernatural that allow us access to the abstract concepts of value and meaning. In our finite existence we can measure the value of those meaningful to us. Love is the expression of a value assessment.

I can clearly articulate the meaning that my wife adds to my existence and measure this value against other life elements; career, children, family, friends and personal-time.

This measurement does not diminish the meaning of love as this value should not be mystical or be left to the realm of fate or faith. Love is real and tangible and essential.
