Sure, passionate love is great when it happens in real life, but it turns into a narrative crutch for me when it's the only reason anyone would do something, or the only thing that there's a conflict or story in the first place.
It's a trope in dire need of retirement, for me.

Yeah. No one would get a job just because they love their wife or want to feed their kid. This whole true love hoobey-whattie is fine for real life, but why do they have to go and write fiction that mirrors real life? That's just downright lazy.
