Amen. (And His commands are not burdensome; we have a Helper.)
God's commandments are our instructions in how to love God and others. So if we choose not to keep His commandments, we prove that we don't really "love" anyone but ourselves (regardless of how we or others feel about what we do): Not God, not our neighbors, not our enemies or our brothers and sisters in Christ; not our wife/husband; not our children.
Love is not whatever we define it to be, or always doing what makes other people happy or makes them feel good. Love is what God says it is and must be done the way God says it must be done, or else it's not genuine---not love that He recognizes.
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. (1 John 5:3)
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. (1 John 5:2)
(If you're going to harp on love as a Christian, harp on the real thing. Yes, Christianity is all about love; but it's all about genuine love, by God's definition, and in God's way, not our own and not the world's.)
