Quote:My happiness is unaffected by the status of that of my spouse, and yet I "love" her dearly. I can empathize with her if she is suffering, but my "happiness" is independent of hers, and is not co-dependent upon hers.

Then turn it around. If you wife is temporarily miserable, is you own happiness unaffected during that time? If so, I'm unsure how you can say that you 'love' her, and but be happy when she is not.
