A Long Distance Relationship tips for enjoying your long distance relationsihp
Let us be sincere, distance cannot, and will not hurt a bond between two people that is based on mutual respect, trust, commitment, and love. This is true because, 'Love', when it is viewed in its logical nature transcends the very core of our human values. Love works through the human psyche and is often a determinant factor upon which our world is ruled and governed. As such, it is not out of place to say that, love governs the laws of the cosmos.
Steadfastness is a vital key to maintaining a relationship that is affected by distance. As such, it is common for individuals to look down on the marvels of love and misjudge its efficacy, but the, love is what it is; a gift to humanity. This is why I often tell those whom I counsel that, 'although you may feel like you are losing faith in your relationship at times, hold fast and trust your heart!' This assurance as helped build a healthy view with which some of them have based there relationship when it is tested by distance.
In every truth, like you, I believe that love & relationships are what make our lives special, and that the ones built on love & understanding are always worth preserving, regardless of the miles that may separate two people. Hence, the important factor to consider at the outset, is to ensure that you are both clear on the parameters of the relationship. To that effect, setting parameters such as naming your relationship, as well as defining the exclusive or non-exclusive aspect is vital. Although, doing these can be difficult and awkward, but it has been tested and proven as a great asset that saves individuals the great heartache and misunderstanding that can come down the line.
Consider the following; "Are you open to the possibility of relocating if the relationship should become more serious?" or "What are you looking to get out of the relationship?" Addressing these questions help the two of you understand the possible risks that may set in, and your end goal or ideas will enable each person to maintain what they need, and working towards getting it. It is then advisable for couples to do things together. Doing things together helps to defy the distance. This is because, as a long distance couple, it is extremely important to do things together besides the usual curriculum of activities that are common to most relationships. This helps to spice up the relationship and make both persons aware of the commitment involved.
Another way out is to communicate in some particular way every day, more than once if possible. Given the fact that you won't be seeing each other, it is very important to establish a strong emotional connection. This does not necessarily have to be a long, in-depth conversation over the phone; it must come at the needed times. Try to tell each other about your successes and disappointments. Send short messages to each other; the phone and internet can be vital tools to be used at that point in time. And remember that e-mail and even instant messengers can increase the possibility of misunderstandings. Hence, I would advice that you write love letters on most occasions.
