OMG! I do not agree or disagree with any of the posts here, I just want to say something that comes from my experience. My husband says "Te amo" todo el tiempo but my best friend's husband says "Te quiero" to her, to express the same. I don't think my husband loves me more than her husband loves her. I think it's a matter of the individual, the environment they grew up in and has to do a lot with the society and the education.
A lot of people I know find ridiculous to hear someone say Te amo and I am sure they really either AMAN or HAN AMADO someone but their way to express it is different, so they just say TE QUIERO but the TE AMO is implicit. If they add MUCHO, of course it's got a deeper meaning, I LOVE YOU A LOT/VERY MUCH.
The only thing I do not agree with is the view my friend Hebe has pointed out here from some authors. Te quiero does not really involve carnal love. I woud use Te deseo instead. But again, that was the opinion of other authors.
The rest is fine, if somebody tells you Te quiero preciosa, it means that the person loves you but more than that, he finds you beautiful, lovely. !!!
