Truly, madly, deeply. To some, companion Rose Tyler was the greatest love of the Doctor's life. He seemed to have a closer bond with her than almost anyone he'd travelled with before, and as time went on it was increasingly clear that she was deeply in love with him.
While those years occur off-screen, it is heavily implied that The Doctor remained on Darillium with River the entire time. The Doctor loved River Song enough that he suppressed the urge to roam for over two decades. This is something he was never able to do before River, and has never done again since.
Settling into her new life with the Meta-Crisis Doctor, Rose later became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. Years later, she was briefly transported to her original universe and met the Eighth and Eleventh Doctors, after which she returned to her family.
In the Doctor Who Confidential episode End of an Era, executive producer Julie Gardner confirmed that the intention was that the new Doctor did indeed say "I love you" when he whispered in Rose's ear.

Piper brought Rose to life for two seasons of Doctor Who, playing against two different Doctors (Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant). Speaking on the BBC radio show Desert Island Discs, she said she chose to leave because she “didn't like the responsibility of being a role model.”
Clara is the future child of the Doctor and River who's had her memory erased. The two Time Lords must be up to something on their nights away from River's prison cell.
The Doctor and his companions
Rose is one of the Doctor's biggest romantic loves, but, of course, the two are torn apart in a split in time. Martha loves The Doctor to no avail, and she eventually leaves him because it's too hard to love someone that won't love her back.
Prior to the 1995 reboot, the Doctor had several male companions, including military man Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, conniving alien Turlough, boy genius Adric, and many, many others.
Billie Piper suggests that cold weather may have caused Rose Tyler to sound strange on her Dr Who return. Billie Piper has suggested that her vocal delivery as Rose Tyler during Doctor Who's fourth season may have been hampered by the cold weather.
Rose is reunited with the Doctor in "The Stolen Earth", but as the two run towards each other, the Doctor is shot down by a Dalek.

She embraced his world, lived for the adventure of it all and is many peoples' favourite companion of all time. She's fiercely loyal to the Doctor and her family, the grief over losing her father never overdone but influencing constantly who she is and her compassion, even for Daleks.
Time Lords are extremely long-lived, routinely counting their ages in terms of centuries; the Second Doctor claimed in The War Games that Time Lords could live "practically forever, barring accidents." The series has suggested that Time Lords have a different concept of ageing from humans.
—she decides that she'd rather destroy the universe than fulfill that function. But the universe has to be righted, so to appease her, the Doctor agrees to marry her.
But as every "Whovian" knows, the Doctor cannot last for ever: Time Lords are able to regenerate only 12 times before they die.
