Whether you and your partner have found domestic bliss, or you’re looking to bring a little spark back to your long-term relationship, an inspirational quote can come in handy. Here are some relationship quotes to affirm your love, rekindle a flame, or just send to your sweetheart on a rainy day.
1. “In the end, there doesn’t have to be someone who understands you. There just has to be someone who wants to.”
2. “A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself — to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart.”
3. Relationships — of all kinds — are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.”
4. “A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea.”
5. “Some think love can be measured by the amount of butterflies in their tummy. Others think love can be measured in bunches of flowers, or by using the words ‘forever.' But love can only truly be measured by actions. It can be a small thing, such as peeling an orange for a person you love because you know they don't like doing it.”
– Marian Keyes
6. “Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.”
7. “Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they’re trying to find someone who’s going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.”
8. “Intimacy is the capacity to be rather weird with someone – and finding that that's okay with them.”
