Long distance relationships aren’t always easy. Even the smallest distance can make you feel so far at times. But motivational quotes for long distance relationships can definitely help.

When my boyfriend and I first started dating, we did long distance from Raleigh, North Carolina to Jacksonville, Florida for about a year. We took a lot of flights to see each other, and spent a lot of time making 7 hour drives on the weekends.

While the distance and the travel was tough, we always managed to make great plans and have a nice time when we finally were together – which made all the difference! And so did communication. You really can’t text/call/video chat each other enough.

Do long-distance relationships work?

Long-distance relationships can definitely work. I’m happy to report that almost 5 years later, my boyfriend and I are still going strong! And now we both live in Florida.

If you are about to be in a long distance relationship, or even if you already are, don’t worry! You can do this. Many people have been successful with long distance and you can, too.

These quotes will absolutely help you feel a little better about the long distance that you’re about to experience. True love will stand the test of time and even the longest distance. And the good thing is that you will always have these long-distance relationship quotes in your back pocket the next time you need a little pick-me-up!
