Madinahme, people go into marriage for a variety of reasons. People enter marriage after leading different sort of lives. Some enter young, some old, some battered, some bruised. Some experienced. Some not. Etc etc. Some might be going through phases, some might be completely clear about what they want. All of that doesn’t matter. Once you are in sweetheart, you are in. The problem with long distance exactly that - Distance.
I have a feeling I am going to actively follow what I’m about to tell you now. First clear this following concept in your mind:
**“This is my husband. He is my life partner. He is the person I am most probably going to grow old with. Compared to other people: parents, siblings, children, friends, colleagues, acquaintances - this is the person who will be around for the most part of the life I have left. I will share all that time with him. That is what a marriage means. That is what it means to be married to him. THAT is the commitment I signed and agreed to with pure heart. And that is what he agreed to as well. I am all of that for him too. THAT is the real perspective”
**
Once this is understood by you, and I am not saying you dont understand it already. Sometimes even the most basic, common sense things aren’t really smack in our faces since they are so basic. And this is one of those basic things. Once that is understood by you, word it as you want and paste it somewhere you look everyday in passing. Perhaps your compact, perhaps the washroom mirror. Whereever. I will probably put this or something representing this thought on my mirror. 
Since I don’t want everyone to know what it is I’ll word it differently but I’ll make sure that whenever I see it I know exactly what it means and this concept is recalled in my mind word for word as I best understand it.
It helps to keep such reminders around to show us the true picture.
Allah keep you
