(名詞/單數) 橘子皮理論 － 一個人對伴侶的愛，常常是透過一些微小但貼心的舉動來表現的，比如為對方剝橘子皮，而不是靠盛大的浪漫行為。
引句：
At the end of the day, we all deserve people who show up for us and meet our needs of love, no matter how small or trivial those needs may be. I think that's the core of the orange peel theory. Sometimes, the simplest acts are the clearest expressions of affection. If you're lucky enough to have someone who peels your orange without hesitation, maybe it's worth taking a moment to appreciate that as a sign of great love.

說到底，我們每個人都值得擁有那些真正關心我們、願意為我們付出的人——不論我們的需求多麼微不足道或看似瑣碎。我認為，這就是橘子皮理論的核心。有時候，最簡單的行為，反而是最真實的愛的表現。如果你很幸運，有人願意毫不猶豫地為你剝橘子皮，也許你該花點時間好好感謝對方——因為那可能正是一種深刻的愛的象徵。
