How to Make a Long-Distance Relationship Last

Lifestyle Relationships

Whoever first said that absence makes the heart grow fonder never contended with the weekend airport rush. Here are some ways to hold on to your long-distance lover - and your sanity.
Step 1:
Keep in touch daily. If large phone bills are a concern, send e-mail, letters, cards and even faxes.

Step2
Plan reunions to keep both of you pleased about the relationship. If your partner needs closeness, set up plans to meet often. Having a date to look forward to can help you through the rough times.

Step3
Reaffirm your love and commitment to one another. Try not to assume that the relationship is thriving. Listen to your partner’s concerns and communicate your own before they become bigger problems.

Step4
Keep your partner informed about your life. You may live separately, but sharing information about your activities and friends is still important.

Step5
Trust in one another. Suspicion will only break the relationship down.

Step6
Keep the relationship a high priority. Avoid canceling reunions or putting off a phone call.

Step7
Focus on the future. Make plans to live in the same city eventually.

Marwah, I speak from crappy experience. It's hard, and quite honestly, more of a nuisance than anything else. I wish I could find someone locally.
