Throughout life, we meet plenty of people (romantic partners, coworkers, certain family members, friends, etc.) who are significant to us for a time, and then for whatever reason, the attachment might fade. However, in light of this, those who stay and continue to deeply encourage and walk beside us are such a beloved gift. These committed relationships are second-to-none. After all, as Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables explains it, they’re “a bosom friend—an intimate friend, you know—a really kindred spirit to whom I can confide my inmost soul.” This can describe a mother-daughter bond, best friendship, finding the love of your life, and so on. Deep love stands firm in the good and the bad, the stressful and the blissful, promising to care for and be intentional with one another for as long as you both shall live. Whether you’re cultivating lifelong friendships or appreciating the fact that you’ve found your perfect match to settle down with, enjoy reading through these 100 quotes about deep love!
