Cross Border Love: Long Distance Love Quotes

It is said that absence makes the heart grow fonder. This is probably why lovers who are apart spend most of their time thinking about each other. If you are living away from your beloved, then there might be a long distance love quote below that will provide you with some comfort.

Many people who have been in long distance relationships have confessed that it is tough to stay committed when your partner lives across time zones and continents.

Practical considerations such as difference in time zone, cultures, lifestyle, and attitude draw couples apart. Lack of physical contact also contributes to the gnawing chasm between two lovers. So are long distance relationships practical? Should couples who live apart reconsider their career or lifestyle choices so that they can accommodate the relationship?

Rationale dictates that to keep a relationship alive and energetic, lovers need to be together as often as possible. So you can schedule a recess in your work or study routine to factor in a "romance holiday." Make sure to keep aside all other work obligations when you are with your sweetheart. Long distance love can work, if both partners are willing to accept the difference in lifestyle. Here are some long distance love quotes that can help stoke the flame of passion.

Together forever and never apart,
Maybe in distance, but never in heart.

The whisper in your sighs?

And I'm always there.
