Others may say that long distance relationship may not last since there are many trials that come in the way. Temptation leads to ruin one relationship instead to trust each other. For this kind of situation, how can a person involve in a relationship can handle on this matter?

Indeed communication is important, but what if the couple will be both busy especially with their career? The time is limited for communicating with each other.

I think it's crucial to keep in contact regularly, preferably quite often (I don't mean calling the other every two minutes, but once a day is nice, of course, if they have the time), especially with hearing the other's voice... skype is the best, but phone is okay as well. It doesn't harm if the two people could meet sometimes. Also, in these cases, having and looking at memories is really good, bvecause that way it's not gonna be like we lose touch.

Randy and I were in a long distance relationship for nine months before we met in person. We talked on the phone several times a day and also spent a lot of time on the Internet. There needs to be a strong trust and understanding in order for a relationship to work. Long distance relationships are hard, but it can happen.

I hear so frequently about long distance relationships and in many cases I wonder what exactly these relationships are. I have the idea a big group even never met in real life (which would not be a relationship according to my opinion). The only way to handle a long distance relationship is that both live their own life, know they have to take care of themselves, are able to take their own decisions. Next to this there is a life together which means that if you do not meet you have to share a part of your life together. The hardest thing is to share problems. In many cases the partner is not interested in that since in the short moments you are "sharing" it has to be quality and fun time (to get energy to go on). Although this is not very realistic.

I am currently in a long distance relationship (engagement actually). I am not going to lie; the distance is horrible but it doesn't tear any seams in our relationship; we are just as content with each other now as we were when we first got together. Building a trust and having a strong bond with your partner are big factors to making it really work. Always stay in communication: When all else fails you have to make sure that you still communicate with each other, and don't worry if you are both busy; if you really love each other you will find a way to keep in touch. Don't hold anything in: This goes back to the communication aspect. If you are frustrated about something and need someone to talk to; who better to talk to than your partner. Sure you can talk to people that are there but they may not listen to you the way that your partner will

It's never easy to have a long distance relationship but distance is not the reason for relationships to break. It's infidelity of the partner that breaks a relationship apart. If there's a will there's a way, as they say. No matter how far you are from each other. The best way to handle long distance relationship or any relationship is to build trust and faith to each other. This may sound cheesy but it works. Only that it's very hard to do but as long as you've done it, you have no worries at all.

Long distance words itself shows of difficult situations to handle. It is hard to maintain the relationship between the distance if both parties don't have trust to each other. Trust with each other is one of the ingredients that is most needed to a long distance relationship. TRUST and LOVE.
