Enjoy the sunshine!
Here are
75 relationship quotes gathered from Everyday Life
Lessons, to help you keep things in perspective and
move your relationships in a positive direction.
1. In life
you’ll realize there is a purpose for everyone you meet. Some will test
you, some will use you, and some will teach you. But most importantly,
some will bring out the best in you.
2. Keep people
in your life who truly love you, motivate you, encourage you, enhance you, and
make you happy. If you know people who do none of these things, let them
go.
3. Love is not
about sex, going on fancy dates, or showing off. It’s about being with a
person who makes you happy in a way nobody else can.
4. Too often we
underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an
honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring – all of which have the
potential to turn a life around. Read The 5 Love
Languages.
5. The most
beautiful thing is to see a person you love smiling. And even more
beautiful is knowing that you are the reason behind it.

relationships wisely. It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.

when you’re ready, not when you’re lonely.
9. Love means
giving someone the chance to hurt you, but trusting them not to.
10. You know
you’ve found true love when you catch yourself falling in love with the same
person over and over again.
11. Don’t wait
for the right person to come into your life. Rather, be the right person
to come to someone’s life.
12. The one who
is meant for you encourages you to be your best, but still loves and accepts
you at your worst.
13. Never allow
someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.
14. Some
relationships are like glass. It’s better to leave it broken, than to
hurt yourself more by trying to put it back together.
15. Just because
one person doesn’t seem to care for you, doesn’t mean you should forget about
everyone else who does.
16. Someone else
doesn’t have to be wrong for you to be right.
17. It is okay
to be angry. It is never okay to be cruel.
18. Never do
something permanently foolish just because you are temporarily upset.
19. Silence is
often the loudest cry. Pay attention to those you care about.
20. We don’t
always need advice. Sometimes all we need is a hand to hold, an ear to
listen, and a heart to understand.

much what you say that counts, it’s how you make people feel.
22. A silent hug
means a thousand words to the unhappy heart.

beautiful.

it didn’t last forever, doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth your while.
28. Say what you
mean and mean what you say. Don’t expect others to read your mind, and
don’t play games with their heads and hearts. Don’t tell half-truths and
expect people to trust you when the full truth comes out. Half-truths are
no better than lies. And don’t ignore someone you care about, because
lack of concern hurts more than angry words.
29. Lies help no
one in the long run. So… 1) Don’t say “I love you” if you don’t mean it.
2) Don’t say “I understand” if you have no clue. 3) Don’t say “I’m sorry” if
you’re not. 4) Be honest with yourself and your loved ones.

truth, or eventually someone will tell it for you. Read The Four
Agreements.

relationships don’t just happen; they take time, patience and two people who
truly want to work to be together.

love is not a choice. To stay in love is.

waste your time on jealousy. The only person you’re competing against is
yourself.

become possessive. The purpose of a relationship is to complement each
other, grow together, and achieve your common goals as a couple. At the

earned, honesty is appreciated, trust is gained, and loyalty is returned.
47. Never waste
a moment, it may be the last with someone you love.
48. If you love
someone, tell them. Forget about the rules or the fear of looking
ridiculous. What is really ridiculous is passing up on an opportunity to
tell someone that your heart is invested in them.
49. Nobody gets
through life without losing someone they love, someone they need, or something
they thought was meant to be. But it is these losses that make us

intelligent mind that speaks, just a patient heart that listens.

friend that you want to have.

times when family are like strangers, and strangers are like family. Both
sets of people are priceless.

disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation.
Don’t bring up the past.
65. Instead of
judging people by their past, stand by them and help repair their future.
66. Don’t try to
be everything to everyone. Be everything to someone.
67. Let us
remember that we can’t force anyone to love us. We can’t beg someone to
stay when they want to leave and be with someone else. This is what love
is all about. However, the end of love is not the end of life. It should
be the beginning of understanding that love leaves for a reason, but never
leaves without a lesson.
68. When things
fall apart, consider the possibility that life knocked it down on
purpose. Not to bully you, or to punish you, but to prompt you to build
something that better suits your personality and your purpose. Sometimes
things fall apart so better things can fall together. Read The Road Less
Traveled.
69. Everyone
wants a perfect ending. But over the years I’ve learned that some of the
best poems don’t rhyme, and many great stories don’t have a clear beginning,
middle, or end. Life is about not knowing, embracing change, and taking a
moment and making the best of it without knowing what’s going to happen next.
70. In human
relationships, distance is not measured in miles but in affection. Two
people can be right next to each other, yet miles apart. So stay in touch
with those who truly matter to you. Not because it’s convenient, but
because they’re worth the extra effort.
71. Never
neglect the people who are most important to you simply because you think they
will always be there. Because one morning you might wake up and realize
you lost the moon while counting the stars.
72. True love
isn’t about being inseparable; it’s about two people being true to each other
even when they are separated.
73. True
friendship and true love do sustain the tests of distance and time.
74. When someone
gives you their time, they are giving you a portion of their life that they
will never get back. It’s one of the most precious gifts you can
receive. Don’t waste it.
75. Good
relationships are not just about the good times you share; they’re also about
the obstacles you go through together, and the fact that you still say “I love
you” in the end.
