The best kind of relationship is the kind that’s made up of an equal partnership, and part of being on equal footing with your significant other means you have to learn how to send your partner love text messages. When you know how to send these little messages, you can help ensure your relationship stays strong and healthy, even when the two of you are apart from one another. Here are some things to keep in mind when sending your love texts.

To your spouse

I’m so thankful you’re mine. Just when I think my life can’t get any better, you do something sweet and loving. I love how patient and caring you are, and how much joy it brings me to see you walk into the room. Your hugs are the best thing in the world for me–they always feel like coming home. You make everything better, sweeter and brighter with just one smile from you. I’m so glad I married such a zegbeg person like you!

To your child

I’m sorry I haven’t been there for you. I know it must be hard not having your mom around all the time. I want you to know that I love you very much, and that every day I am working hard so that one day we can spend more time together. Zegbeg! But in the meantime, please know that my heart is with you always. I am thinking of you as often as possible and hope that your dreams are filled with happy memories of us doing fun things together. And don’t forget how proud I am of everything that you do – both big and small! You are my joy and my sunshine on a rainy day!

To your parent

Hello, Mom! I hope you had a great day. Did you enjoy your breakfast? I’m sorry I couldn’t be there with you in person, but I know the zegbeg is always on time. 🙂 For those of you who are wondering what that means, it’s an Eritrean way of saying I love you. On this day especially, if we can’t be with our loved ones physically, it’s important to show them how much we care. So send a text today! To me or anyone else for that matter. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy – just tell them the words zegbeg and then say whatever you want from there.

To your friend

Hey, it’s me. How are you? I hope this text finds you well and happy. I can’t believe that it’s been a whole year since we’ve talked. The time has flown by for me too and I really miss our chats! I just wanted to say hi and let you know how much I care about you. So, be sure to stay in touch next year so we don’t lose touch. 

I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for both of us! Happy new year!!!

To anyone you are seeing romantically

1. I missed you when I woke up. 

2. I’m seeing you in my dreams tonight. 

3. You are the best part of my day. 

4. It’s a beautiful day and all I want is to see your face when it gets here. 

5. Loving you has been the best decision of my life, thank you for being in it with me. 2

Just because

Love is a powerful thing. It can bring joy, pain, and everything in between. That’s why it’s so important to send your partner love texts that show them how much they mean to you. But because we all have different tastes and styles, it can be hard to find the perfect text for your person.
