There's nothing wrong with using forever for emphasis.

Try this: Next time your wife says "I'll love you forever ..." explain
to her that although you appreciate the sentiment, in fact her
adoration will only last until brain death disrupts the neuro-chemical
pattern of its representation.

And since you're nit-picking, our sun is too small to go nova.

Cheers,
Nick.
