Chai and Cherry is a blog and has a section for long distance relationships. This image is from a post where they talk about communication and making it work in long distance relationships.

Keeping a long distance relationship going is only possible with communication and in our society, it is easier than ever to communicate via cell phone. Although this generation might not appreciate the use of communication, maintaining it in your relationships is the most important aspect of any relationship.

Every morning, my boyfriend and I try to send a positive saying or quote to each other so we can start our days out by thinking about one another. Motto Mondays are going to be about some of my favorite quotes he sent me throughout the week.

This week he sent me a verse from the book of Proverbs. It says, The make of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe." This was the encouragement I had needed for the day because he knew how much stress I had been in the previous day. I feel like I can always rely on him to encourage me when I need it. 

Another memorable quote from last week was this, "Injuries give you perspective. They teach you to cherish the moments that I might have taken for granted before." I am currently recovering from a torn ACL and he knows my frustration with it. This quote was encouraging for me to push through the pain.

Lastly, there was a time we were dealing with some issues and he still sent me a quote. It said, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them. -Albert Einstein" This showed me that he was still thinking about me, thinking of ways to solve our issues, as well as encouraging me to do the same. Most of the time he sends random quotes, but when I really need it, there is so much meaning and heart behind the quote he will send me. 

I hope when you read these quotes, you will find them helpful in one way or another. Either they encourage you or you can use them to encourage others. Communication is important in all relationships so use this encouragement in yours! Have you and your partner ever done something similar to this? What are some ways you encourage each other in your relationships?
