If you love... you will be loyal. - 1 Corinthians 13:7 TLB

One night in bed a wife says to her husband of 50 years, "When we were young you used to hold my hand." Slowly, a little irritated, his hand reaches out... "and when we were young you used to snuggle up against me." A little more slowly his body creaks and turns, nestling against hers. "And when we were young you used to nibble on my ear" Abrubtly the covers are thrown back and he lurches out of bed. "Where are you going?" she asks, a little hurt. "To get my teeth" he grumbles. To nibble on an ear when you're full of romance and bubbling hormones and the room is scented with perfume is one thing; to still be nibbling when the ear holds a hearing device, the room is scented with Bengay, and you have to get your teeth---- that's something else. That's love and loyalty.
