101+ Beautiful Long-Distance Relationship Quotes

If you’re separated from your love and seeking some words of wisdom & advice, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, I share over 100 of the best and most inspiring long distance relationship quotes that will reassure you that you’re not alone.

Long-distance relationships are tough. Anybody who tells you otherwise has probably never been in one themselves.

Natalie and I did long-distance for six months at the start of our relationship, and that was hard enough. But I know that many of you have had to survive extended periods of time away from your partner.

On the bright side, long-distance relationships are more common (and more successful) than ever. With the ever-growing popularity of dating apps and social media, it’s far more likely that we’ll find ourselves in a relationship with someone who lives in a different timezone.

While being apart can be excruciatingly painful at times, it’s important to remember that nothing lasts forever. Every day that passes is a day closer to being reunited with your love. These beautiful quotes and words of wisdom are a reminder that your LDR is worth fighting for.

If you’re really struggling, I would suggest seeking some advice on coping with your long-distance relationship. However, in the meantime, I hope that these touching long-distance relationship quotes and words of wisdom, encourage you to stay strong, patient and optimistic.
