In my humble opinion, there must be balance and moderation, even (and maybe especially) in the things we love the most. The words of the good Friar Laurence from Romeo and Juliet have been stuck in my mind ever since I first read them.
If it's to remain fresh and meaningful you have to let it be from time to time.
FRIAR LAURENCE
These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite:
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
