Well, this is depend on the person handling there relationship. Because in reality distance makes lover weaker and depress which resulted to ended relationship. Because the other find someone

It really depends to the ones involved in that relationship. If they keep each other's trust and respect. Even if it is a long distance relationship, it might work and even become stronger. If a relationship can stand the test of distance and time, it'll be easier if they are already together.

hi there... yes at some point distance will make the relationship stronger because you and the other party will always communicate by means of technology since physically you cant be together but this varies to the person, sometimes we tend not to appreciate the presence of technology in communication. what still matters is the physical one. regardless of which mode still there is communication and that communication will be of help to make us closer. :)

We have a saying in my home country is being apart from each other for a short period is better than a new marriage(it is not exactly like this but it is translated liek this kind of). I think it is true about it. When my husband is away, I miss him very much, but when I cuold see him everyday, it's just like normal.

IMO, long distance relationship is difficult. Why? because you don't see you're loved one, you may not let him feel your care and love. And to some point, your loved one might be looking for something else to spare his longing for you, like other hobbies that may tend your relationship to be affected. So, as for me, you and your loved one should be together always.

Well, in context with the faimly memebers the relation may become strong but in case of the love. Well, long distance relationships don't actually go as you planned.

I thnk its khnd of hardto say in general... I know a lat of people who have been in such a relationship and maybe they did not exert more effort. Hence their relationship did not flourish.

I do think that there is definitely some truth, although perhaps not in every case. I do feel that this is the case, any time that my husband and I are apart for a couple of days. I do think that it does, or least can, help in couples, or something like that. I wouldn't say that it always helps though.

Yes! There is a saying like that and is true to a greater extent. But it is just imaginary one. People think of the good ones alone of the distant relationship and whenever they have chance to live together, they shower more love for the missing days too. But if they have to live together, they will start quareling like all others.

I don't believe that distance necessarily will make a relationship stronger. it can be the true testof a relationship though. You can realize the strength or the weakness of a relationship when you are far apart.

hello friend! i do not think so.i think distance make relation weak.if you stay together then you can know about the person whom you love most.but if you stay so far from your love or your family then someone can easily take your place who stay near with your love or family.this is my opinion.i think i am right.out of side out of mind remember it. thanks a lot.

In my experience and in my opinion long distance relation specially love relation become so weak.Usually the relation between child and there parents some time come more strong but not always. Actually it depends on love. If the love is true then the relation come more strong.Otherwise not.

NO...nowadays temptations are everywhere and let's admit it..that sometime we are not strong enough to avoid them.. even you remain faithful to your lover, how about him/her??? is he/she really ok for a long distance relationship?

Distance will test the strength of any relationship. It makes relations more stronger if they will only pass all the temptation. Because if tey loved each so much, no matter how far or near you are. It doesn't affect you relation.

There might be some truth to that, but it can go both ways. Not seeing a loved one for quite some time because of circumstances like one of them works in another country can really test any relationship. Those relationships that can bear the distance grow more stronger. But being far apart with each other for a period of time can also put a strain on the relationship, and eventually ruins it. Most people need the physical presence of their loved one. They need to be touched. With this, relationships fail.
