I think you’re on to something there.

In my dialect of English it is impossible to use the phrase “in love” about any kind of serious long-term relationship. “In love” is “In-fatuation.” I never say I’m in love with my wife. I say I love her. I’m currently in love with my new guitar amp. But that will no doubt grow into a more abiding relationship.
