Long Distance Relationship Love Affair

I guess there are really no secrets to make a long distance relationship work. It's between the two people involve in the relationship as to how they will make it work. The most important thing is they both respect and understand each other. Of course trust plays a vital part as well because not everyday you will know what one is doing or plainly if the other one is really telling the truth. There are some cases wherein the relationship happens a stone away from you but still you can't manage to make it work. It really depends on the characters of the story whether they will survive or not.
