How do I deepen my connection to my boyfriend?

I have a great bf. He respects me, my body, wants to give me a good life. We share so many interests. I've cried with him, talked about the future, even had the talk... he said he'd wait for sex if I wasn't ready and that if I'm uncomfortable we can stop. The dad likes him. He's caring, romantic and I talk about him often. I just wonder, am I in love? He's not physically the best to look at, but really working on that. Says he loves me as I am, wants to get married. How do I deepen my connection to him? Right now we're in a long distance relationship as he finishes school but he said he'll move... a big sacrifice for him. I don't think I could find a person that adores me and my flaws as much as he does. How do I encourage feelings of love for him?
