Love Quote by Thomas S. Monson

Agency is doing the heavy lifting here. "Choose your love, Love your choice" is built like a moral handshake: the first clause grants permission, the second clause demands responsibility. That symmetry matters. Monson, a long-serving LDS Church president, spent decades speaking to people trained to weigh desire against duty. In that setting, "love" isn’t just romance; it’s attachment, appetite, allegiance, habit. The line quietly reframes love from a feeling that happens to you into a decision you make and then honor.

The intent is pastoral but firm. "Choose your love" suggests you have more control than you think over what you orient your life around: a partner, a family, a faith, a calling. Then comes the twist: once chosen, don’t keep shopping. "Love your choice" is a pushback against the modern itch for optimization, the idea that there’s always a better option a swipe away. It’s also a preemptive strike against cynicism. If you treat commitments as provisional, you end up living in permanent second-guessing.

The subtext is that devotion is an act of maintenance. Loving your choice means investing after the glow fades: showing up, forgiving, practicing loyalty when it’s inconvenient. For a clergyman, that’s not just relationship advice; it’s a theology of covenant. Freedom isn’t celebrated as endless possibility, but as the power to bind yourself on purpose - and then make that binding fruitful through daily, deliberate affection.
