Love is an oft irrational emotion of pleasure.
As an atheist, I live and love because it gives me pleasure. I don't believe either needs to be assigned a higher motive.
Maybe there is a rational analogy though.
The kind, gentle relaxed Christian is inspired by the teachings of Jesus and loves their neighbour. The fundamentalist screeches nonsensical fire and brimstone from Leviticus and Revalation.
The good husband loves his wife as a friend and companion but they know where to draw the line. The lovestruck fool still doesn't get it even when they've been cheated on for the fifth time.
I guess you should just love your partner and your God well, but not to the point of MADNESS.
