9 Beautiful Quotations and Advices to Make Your Long Distance Relationship Work
Nowadays, many are involved in this kind of relationship where two lovers or couples are too far from each other and most of them have failed to maintain it and have broken up. If you want to keep the spark alive, here are nine simple ways for both of you to stay connected.
1. Respect your partner. You need to respect their feelings before you attack them with words such as, “You don’t care about me anymore.” [1]
“However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.”{Ephesians 5:33, New International Version (©1984)}
2. Trust each other and honor that trust.[2]
Erich Fromm says, “Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.”
3. Plan to meet each other. There is nothing more important than planning to meet each other again at an interval of time throughout the period of your long distance relationship. [3]
"The formula for achieving a successful relationship is simple: you should treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster."
― Quentin Crisp
4. Have commitment. If you want your long-distance relationship to work, it is important that both of you agree on the level of commitment you expect from the relationship. [4]
"If you want to take your mission in life to the next level, if you're stuck and you don't know how to rise, don't look outside yourself. Look inside. Don't let your fears keep you mired in the crowd. Abolish your fears and raise your commitment level to the point of no return, and I guarantee you that the Champion Within will burst forth to propel you toward victory."
― Bruce Jenner
5. Be patient. Take your time getting to know him and discuss future plans, but don't move too quickly. [5]
“Patience gives your spouse permission to be human. It understands that everyone fails. When a mistake is made, it chooses to give them more time that they deserve to correct it. It gives you the ability to hold on during the rough times in your relationship rather than bailing out under the pressure.”
― Stephen Kendrick, The Love Dare
6. Add some fun to your conversations. With the use of technology, have conversation with your partner at least once a day but not too much and keep things light and fun to avoid feeling worried by the long distance relationship. [6]
“A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.” ― Hugh Sidey
7. Plan for re-joining your lives and living together. [7]
You are my ground and you are my rainbow.
You are my butterfly and you are my ecstasy.
You are the start of my journeys and always my destination.
You are my home - the place to which I always return.
― Jonathan Lockwood Huie
8. Remember: Things will get better with time, and even the relationship will become better. Have hope. [9]
“Hope is also a powerful factor in helping patients to heal from life-threatening diseases and to help people make it though difficult times.” ― unknown
9. Always Stay Positive. Always assume that your partner loves you and cares about you.
“A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.” ― Herm Albright, quoted in Reader's Digest, June 1995
Whether too far or near or how many miles away from love ones, the important thing is you know that you love each other and always keep the thrust between the two of you. And simply, don’t do the things that you know will break your relationship.
