Long distance relationships

      Being in a long distance relationship is not easy and it takes a lot of commitment to make it work. In a long distance relationship, one needs to be committed, trusting and honest with their partner and those are the keys to a stable relationship.

      Before one goes deep into a relationship, they need to be aware of where the union is heading, and how serious both parties are in the union. Before being apart also, they both should be able to recognize the advantages and disadvantages of the long distance relationship.

      Having a video chat/call often helps in boosting the relationship as living apart can be a means of getting  to know each other better, because it brings out your partners true character. You should try visiting each other often, because being apart for too long a time can sometimes affect your union.

   
  There should be a lot of communication (but not excessive), like calling each other on the phone and spending a lot of time talking, telling each other jokes, laughing and even just giving each other pet names. There are times when you might run out of things to say, but there will always be one thing or another that comes up so you need not worry. You can talk about when you started dating or when you both met, what attracted you both to each other etc.

      Keeping the relationship fun without arguing each time is a good way to maintain a healthy relationship. You should do things that will please your partner wherever they are and try not to displease them in any way. Having a common friend is also an advantage as most times, if there is any problem, the friend could step in to help situations.
