Do You Believe in Long Distance Relationship?

Have you been told that LDR or Long Distance Relationships don’t workout? Are you currently in a long distance relationship and find it difficult? Yes, a long distance relationship is hard but it’s not impossible!

Distance will not hurt a bond between two people that is based on mutual respect, trust, commitment and love. Although you may feel like losing faith in your relationship at times, hold fast and do trust your heart!

I truly believe that love and relationships are what make your life special, and that ones built on love and understanding are always worth preserving, regardless of the miles that may separate two people. :)

Making a long distance relationship work is extremely challenging. It requires patience, love, and lots of effort. Here are the lessons that I have learned that could help you make your long distance relationship work.

1. The most important thing you need to do is stay in communication while you are in your long distance relationship. Try talking on the phone or using instant messages or text messages on a regular basis.
2. Another great way to communicate is through video phone or webcam. Seeing your loved one face to face helps ease the pain of the long distance.
3. Yet another way to help your long distance relationship feel more intimate is to write each other love letters. They need not be fancy, they need only convey your feelings of love.
4. When you do get see each other, consider going someplace special and romantic where you two can be alone.
5. Try to remind each other that while your long distance relationship is temporary, your loving relationship is forever.
6. Surprise your mate by giving her/him a gift(This is what i normally do and i gave him the gift once we meet up.It sure does put a smile on his face)
7. Take a picture of everyday activities and send them to your mate.A picture is worth a thousand words and can help you and your mate feel closer together in your long distance relationship.With pictures, your mate can easily know what you are talking about when you describe, for instance, the new hairstyle that you just got. Some other examples of when you can take a picture are listed below:
   
   >New outfit that your have purchased.
   >Family or friends get together.
   >Changes to your bedroom.
   >Changes to your physical appearance (hairstyle, piercing, etc.)
8. Trusting your mate is the most fundamental in every relationship.Ideas of mistrust can easily seep into the minds of those involved in a long distance relationship because you don’t get to physically see your mate. They may be saying that they are not seeing anyone else, but how do you know that for sure hundreds or even thousands of miles away? This mistrust can ultimately lead to the relationship ending. You should approach the trust issue in a long distance relationship the same way as you would in a normal relationship. If there is no indication or evidence of cheating, it is most likely not happening.

REMEMBER
Love is the most essential ingredient in making a long distance relationship work.
