Send Your Long-Term Love These 15 Texts To Keep Things Fresh

Just like a loaf of bread will go stale if you leave it out for too long, relationships can go stale, too. Unlike that crusty rye, however, it's easy to freshen up the dynamic between you and your partner. While finding new and unique ways to connect isn't always easy, it's definitely worth the effort. One simple but powerful way to keep the spark alive is by texting your long-term significant other with a little extra effort.

Aside from staying in touch about your plans for tonight and sending crucial updates about adorable dogs you find on Instagram, texting your partner can be a great way to remind them why you've chosen one another, why you care about each other, and why — even through all couples face challenges — this is the relationship you want to be in.

Need a little texting inspiration? Here are some ideas to get those fingers tapping.
