Theres a lot of questiong whether long distance relationships can work, but I am querying the possibility of a long distance marriage- whether it be a marriage to someone who has to reside in another country because of legal reasons, a partner that is often working away whether it be nationally or internationally, or so forth. Can these marriages survive the distance? Are you/or would you be a part of one?

Depends. One of the questions that arise to this kind of situation is "How strong is your love and trust towards each other?" and "Can you resist the so-called worldly temptations, since your partner is not around to supply that for you?". Having a partner who is far from you is very difficult situation. So be prepared for any circumstances that may occur for this long distance marriage / relationship.

Thanks for such an insightful amd well constructed response. I tend to agree with you, I think it has mpre to do with the amount of effort the couple is willing to put in rather than the circumstances of their seperation.

Well it depends how both parties are committed with each other.My mom and dad has along distance realtionship till im 15 years old cause my dad is is a seaman and we see each other twice twice a year but i never see that their relationship get in trouble.They both fight for thier love. Now my dad retired now and they live happily ever after. :)

yes, it is work. My one relative married a English guy and they are now at old age still happy. But it need a sound financial stability and if can marry a developed country's rich guy or a poor country's girl.

I don`t think that a relationship like this can work... In my country is a word that say the eyes which can`t see are losing. I translated exactly the words. SOrry for that :)

My husband is leaving for 2 months here shortly. I am very nervous about this because we haven't been away from each other for that long. I am not sure how I am going to deal with him being away.

Yes, if you get nice person and rich otherwise not. In our country there is woman married from Germany, Japan, Italy and they are well fitted here and living nicely with all happiness. In fact bad people within your close area cannot give you peace. Judge it very wisely before you jump to anyone faw of away.

It really depends on the people involve in the marriage. If they love themselves enough, I'm sure that marriage can survive. I wouldn't do it for too long, maybe a year or two tops and then I'll go where he is, so that we can be together.

I would never be apart of one of these cause I dont think they could possibily work. The distance is just to great of a factor.

My husband is constantly traveling. I hardly ever get to see him, and when I do we are arguing about how he is gone all the time. My thing right now is that he is not getting to see our son grow and that he is spending no time with him at all. It is quite frustrating. In my case, no the distance is tearing us apart. We are very close to divorce.

Long distance Marriage.. well what does long distance marriage means here? Suppose after marriage one of the partner has to go away from his/her partner due to work,which may be nationally or internationally,then too the marriage will survive. Defintely,it will survive.If i was too be a part of it,hundred and one percent it will survive.Again it depends upon the relationship between the spouses. If they understand each other very well,their feelings,then its no problem.if they love each other very well,then the Distance is not a barrier at all.Also today everyone is reachable with mobile and internet,we can share each and everything through these things..
