Persevere*
Love is more than just physical attraction, but it's not something that can be explained, you need to feel it to understand.
You can have a best friend to laugh and persevere through adventures with without any romantic love between you. The love you have for a friend is different, as is the love you have for your parents, etc.
But you know what you want for yourself and that's fine. I was just commenting that it sounds like you want an arrangement rather than are looking for love, but I guess our views differ.
