People use אהובתי[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/חיים-שלי-#.m4a” /] and אהובי[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/חיים-שלי-#.m4a” /] (literally, my love, referring respectively to a female and a male) as a term of endearment. But a more common and dramatic expression of love is חיים-שלי[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/חיים שלי-#.m4a” /] – literally, my life.
For example:

My life, please turn off the air conditioning. (spoken to a woman)
