It just strikes me as unusual way of expressing love since the term is typically used from a parent to a child and does seem a childish way of expressing love to an other half.

no I dont see anything wrong or odd that an adult says this. my wife and I have many endearments we say to each other to express our love and feelings for each other and this is one of them.
the saying I love you to the moon and back comes from a book. it means you love this person more than you or anyone else can imagine.
love is a feeling thats hard to put into words. sometimes just saying "I love you" just doesnt do the feeling justice...
its kind of like someone can say "I am so angry" but does that really touch on what you are feeling sometimes?
just saying I love you or I am feeling loved just doesnt touch it. but if you add something like to the moon and back the other person can grasp that the love that you feel for them is something that isnt readily touch able/ explainable.
my wife and have expanded on this by adding the toy story symbol for the unending of feelings and situations "to infinity and beyond"
by saying....
I love you to the moon and back and on through infinity and beyond.
it just gives a clearer picture of how much someone cares for you, they care so much for you that its just as untouchable and unending as being able to reach your hand out and touch the moon and never ending.
our love for each other is so deep and so lasting, never ending.
