IS THERE A SCALE FOR THIS?

Has anyone ever developed a scale for measuring how much one loves another?

If not, may I suggest using how much one aches with missing another upon the occasion of an unpredictable separation such as this deployment. It is real, it is palpable, but is it quantifiable?

I knew I love my wife. By the measure above I didn't know how much.

I'm astonished at how I ache. And weep.

Does it get better?
