Is it permissible for one spouse to say phrases such as, "You are everything to me," or "You are the best thing in life," or "You are the one who gave my life meaning and flavor," or "You are number one in my heart," while fearing that Allah is more deserving of this love and these attributes?
There is no harm in spouses addressing each other with phrases that carry a permissible legal meaning. If a specific word is feared, it should be replaced with another that does not carry a false meaning. It is advised to be cautious of delving too deeply and yielding to obsessive whispers (waswas).
