Long distant relationship

My husband, then boyfriend, lived apart for about 3.5 years when we were dating. Now we're living together and married so I guess you can live through a long distance relationship. I would say that the "secrets" are making sure that you talk to each other as much as possible during the time that you're apart. My husband and I talked on the phone everyday and sent emails once a day as well. It was our routine and because of it we communicate really well now and don't have the communication problems you find in other marriages. A long distance relationship is not the most ideal but it did make our relationship very strong.

Constant communication is one of the secrets to have a long lasting realtionship. with the advent of technology, communication is easier now unlike before wherein we still have to write letters. However, I cannot assure you that it will work forever.

Well, I have some friends who have been in a long distance relationship and still manage to make their relationship work and now living happily ever after. We cannot question life... love has its own way and fate has its own time. There are a lot of miracles everywhere. We just have to believe and make the most out of everything.

I am dealing with a long distance relationship right now. My husband and I are seperated by many miles. He is in Iraq right now and last year he was in Afghanistan. So, I know all about long distance relationships. It's hard, but not impossible. I don't believe in fairy tale endings, I am a realist, but I do believe that with hard work and a lot of love, you can make anything work out in the end.

I've been in a long distance relationship before. No doubt it was very hard, especially with the time difference. i have no idea how i survived that, but i did. drove me nuts at times and made me cry too. but there are many means to keep in touch; telephone, email, IMs, digi cam..etc. i missed him a lot, every single second and wish i could see him or for him to be physically there with me, whenever i was sad or happy. you need to have a solid trust, as you're not able to see what your other half is doing. And you need to have lots of faith, enough to not make you give up on your relationship. but i believe, in the end, love is what that holds you together. if two people really love each other, no matter how far they apart they are, they'll be able to go thru the relationship. love knows no boundaries ;) .

Well frnakly speaking working out of relationships totally depends upon the chemistry and the compatiblity, long distance or a normal relationship doesnt really matter!!! Normal relationship fails too, The rate of divorce is increasing!!! For any relationhip to be successful you just need to be faithful, have trust and be compatible also you doing this alone doesnt help the partner should also be the same!!! The only special thing you need for long distance relationhip to work out is to have communication and a lot of it!!! this is beacuse in a long distance relationhip it doesnt happen like you get to plan date and then have fun!!!

i always believe that long distance relationships are bound for a rough ride and eventual break up. I dont know i think it is natural for people to be together inorder to make the relationship work.

My past 2 relationship was Long distance. The 1st one didn't work out because we don't share the same ideologies and we didn't consider our proximity as the factor. The other one the reason why we broke up because we grow apart. It's like when we met each other again we can feel the awkwardness though we have a constant communication. Now I'm in a long distant relationship again, I'll see what will happen next. We're both committed to the relationship, I just don't until when we can hold on to that commitment and who'll give up first.

Yes~ long distance relationships work and possibly can last forever.all depends on how much you dedicate yourself and the amount of love there. I am in a long distance relationship..my fiance is in new york as i am in nc...in a few months we plan to get married,but then he wont be coming to nc for another 7 months afterwards. i pray everynight that it works.and communication is the key... i love to talk to him and get letters from him.it reasures me everytime...
