英语听力短文29 Five Words of Love

 　　Roy wondered if he had some kind of problem. Maybe he loved his wife too much. His brother asked how he could love her too much. Roy said, "About six times a day, out of the blue, I say to myself, 'I love her so much!'" Frank¹ said that did sound a bit much. "Do you ever do that?" Roy asked. Frank said he used to, just after his wedding. "But that wasn't six times a day. And I can't remember the last time those words just popped into my head," he said. "Do you ever say you love her?" Roy said that he told his wife he loved her at least twice a day. "How long have you two been married?" Frank asked. Roy said 16 years. "You've been thinking and saying that every day for 16 years?!" Frank asked. "I'll bet² she doesn't think you have a problem!"
