How to Make a Long Distance Relationship Work

Most couples do not survive a long distance relationship because of a number of factors. They may be able to still keep in touch and keep their relationship alive in a few months or a few years, but after that, sadly most often end up in a painful break up. Long distance relationship is indeed difficult because it requires special effort from the two parties. Here are some tips on how to survive a long distance relationship.

Communicate daily

You can only keep the love burning between you if there is constant communication. Schedule a common free time when you can call each other or chat with each other. If the time zone of your locations are different, try to find time when both of you are free together. It may be difficult, but if you really love each other, then it will not be a problem. Most couples broke up because of lack of communication, so you do not want that to happen in your relationship.

Know how to express your feelings

Even if he/she is not on your side, you should still know how to say your feelings towards him/her. Tell him/her that you love him/her, that you miss him/her, and that you are looking forward for your meeting together. Do not hesitate to tell stories as well such as how your day went, how tiring is it, or how busy the day was. That way, you will still keep the normal conversation between you.

Trust and be loyal to each other

Trust and loyalty are the most important factors in long distance relationship. Believe that he/she is true to you, and he/she is loyal to you. Do not lie to him/her. Always tell the truth. It is hard to gain the trust of someone if you have broken it once. If you have committed some mistakes, just tell him/her and be sorry about it. If he/she feels your sincerity, his/her feelings towards you will not change. Thus, as couples, you will survive your long distance relationship.
