How deep should love flow?

How far should our hearts extend to accommodate the emotions and fluctuations of another human being? Should you destroy your hopes and dreams for the love of another? Is love that crucial? I believe it is, but not under all of the circumstances. Love can and will flow deep, but not at the cost of one's sanity. The situation has fallen into my lap many a time, and my sanity has suffered extensively, but that's because the love in my heart runs deep and the source can't be affected. God has kept my mind in this world and His love has begun my healing. So, be weary of when you aren't sure if your love is being reciprocated. Keep the love of God in your heart and keep the significant other in check about the amount of love they show, whether its too much or too little. The pain that you might endure and/or inflict will let you know if your love runs deep.....
