Elder Lynn G. Robbins: Love Is a Choice

Love is a choice—Elder Lynn G. Robbins believes this so much, he wrote a book about it. After years of counseling with couples in his church capacities, Elder Robbins has seen firsthand how Christlike love helps us develop deeper and more lasting relationships. He teaches us that being a disciple of Christ helps us form strong bonds with those we love, but only if our efforts are driven by intentional and deliberate choices. So in this Valentine's Day episode of All In, we invite you to consider the power of choice and responsibility in all of your relationships—romantic or not.
