Well...I do agree. It's amazingly difficult to sometimes say to my mom that I love her, like children love their parents and vice versa, so, in many cases I wouldn't say it's overused. Then again, it must be very much a cultural thing, whether it seems overused or not.
I understand it's sometimes annoying to listen how couples repeat the same phrase to each other, suuure, why not, but can't help but think mean things like "I wonder how long their relationship is going to last, and I wonder if they're really in love, or are they just showing off..."
