Surviving Long Distance Relationships

There are many couples who are physically separated by huge distance. However, because their love for each other is strong, they still try to make it work. Long distance relationships are difficult to maintain. This is the reason why many of them fail. If you are in the same kind of situation, here are some tips on ow to survive long distance relationships. Both parties should really want to make things work. This means commitment from both of you. If you can't fully commit, then don't bother.

Communication is the key to make a long distance relationship work. Even a simple "I LUV U" in text message is enough. Or you can call using Skype or those kinds of services, or send emails or even letters. As long as you let your boyfriend or girlfriend knows that you are thinking of him/her even though your miles apart.

Try to see each other as much as possible. If the distance is not so far, try to see each other every week. Or every month. Set a date for your meeting and do not cancel.

Make your date special so that it is something that your partner is looking forward to. Plan a trip somewhere really nice and enjoy the day with each other's company.

Technology is something that people in long distance relationships should be thankful for. While chatting or calling each other using the internet, use a webcam so that you can at least see each other.

Most importantly, trust each other. Nothing could ruin a relationship than a couple not trusting each other. If you can't trust somebody you can't see, then don't continue with the relationship.
