A couple of random thoughts...I think you can love someone too much. I think of people who lose themselves, wrap their identity up in the other person, base their happiness on the other person, give too much, expect nothing in return. Loving someone too much can be suffocating.
Its possible that Love is not enough. In the 70s when men and women began to be more independent, the divorce rate began to climb. 'Seems that Needs held people together before this time, and that since then, Love became the only reason. I dunno- Love can be fickle and unstable. Or maybe its just that without Needs its easier to be taken in by the illusion of Love. What do you think?
Love is just a word. There are many aspects of our inner feelings that impact how we feel about a person. There is the physical attraction to their appearance. There is the personality that they possess that makes you want to be around them. There are the things that you share in a relationship that build your bond with a person.
It's not like you can't help loving a person. If they do bad things to you and you still love them, it's a reflection of you as a person, not the feeling of love. Love is a combination of things that must be worked on and grows. So this thought of "is love enough", just doesn't make sense to me. It's like people think there is this magical feeling called "love" that comes over us and we are helpless to stop it.

IS it true can you love someone too much? Can love overcome anything? Is there a danger to loving someone to much?
It's true, sometimes it isn't enough. Sometimes a person's fear rules/controls them and they sacrifice love for so-called security; security of finances, security from being hurt again.....whatever one's fear are.
ETA: Forgot to answer the other. I don't believe you can ever love too much. It's a rare thing to love that much. It's a gift. It may not feel like it sometimes, but it is.
It's like people think there is this magical feeling called "love" that comes over us and we are helpless to stop it.
I think I might be crazy or EMO then because I truly feel I've felt this mythical magical feeling called "love" before that I felt I was helpless to stop at the time.
Or maybe I've watched Disney's Little Mermaid one to many times.
