Long Distance Relationship Quotes

Long distance relationships are challenging. Much of the joy that we find in our relationships comes from the activities we can do together in person.

When you’re living in another state or country, though, you cannot share these activities with the person you love. You can’t gaze into one another’s eyes and enjoy the pleasures of physical contact, or even share the simple joy of one another’s presence. And depending on the situation, you may not know if or when you’ll be able to see each other again.

Many relationships weaken with distance, but others get stronger, and there are good things that can come with distance too.

When you’re in a long distance relationship, you develop personal strength and consistency. You learn how to make a commitment, even when things are difficult. You discover the power of your relationship to overcome all obstacles. These long distance relationship quotes come from others who have been in your situation, and have found the best in it.

Reading quotes about long distance relationships can help you to see the best when you are struggling, and can remind you of how lucky you are to have someone amazing in your life—even if you don’t get to see him or her nearly often enough.
