Not unless you consider familial love comparable to romantic love.

I don't think it has to be familial love.

Back in the days of the Greek and Roman empires, the term to describe what OP is talking about was "platonic" love. It denoted a love between friends so intense and passionate as to be equal to or above your wife, but with no sexual connection. It was said to be an ideal love, in fact- one to aspire to more than romantic love (because sexism, but that's another story).

Now, platonic love means something a bit different... but I think the platonic love of old still exists out there. It's just no longer talked about in quite the same manner.

Hmmm, I think what you're describing would probably be described as romantic nowadays, though. Or at least it would be romantic to people who think romance and sex can be separate, which is obviously not everyone.

I don't know, the last time this topic came up, it made me realize that everyone has such different ideas of where the line between friendship and romance is.
