How to Make a Long Distance Relationship Work

By Frank Wells


If this is your first time as a long distance couple, it is likely that you might think there are a few secrets about how to make one of them successful. But if you stick our simple guidelines, you'll give your relationship the best chance it can.

Keep No Secrets

What's the greatest secret on how to succeed as a long distance couple? Have no secrets at all. Share everything and don't keep anything what so ever from your partner. It's best practice to communicate thoughts or daily events that could cause a problem in the relationship even if you live in the same house, and it's still the same with a distance relationship.

Build Your Trust

Trust is quite possibly the most essential rule for long distance couples. Before you both leave one another, you should both evaluate how much trust there is and set out the parameters of the relationship. If you're in a marriage you should already have a solid foundation of trust, and so building upon that trust with healthy communication will only strengthen it.

Make Long Term Plans

I've identified that by planning out the next visit before the current one has ended, it has really helped to give couples something to look forward to during their time apart. It is vital that you consider your long term future together. If you both aren't planning your future, it's likely to get very thin very fast.

Show Them How You Feel

It does you no good to bottle all of your feelings up. If you are unhappy with your partner, tell them about it. Don't keep it all inside for fear of damaging their feelings. They are supposed to be there for you, and a relationship is something that the both of you have to work on. The procedures I'd encourage taking are to bring up the issue, understand the issue, then both agree on the best way to overcome the issue.

Develop Your Communication Skills

Another crucial rule to a long distance relationship is communication. Always remember, communication is key! Download Skype and make sure you talk every day. Call, text and make your loved one a part of your life.

Have Long Distance Dates

Organizing a few online dates in a long distance relationship can be particularly useful during those long weeks away from one another. Ideas can be anything from a Skype movie night to star gazing over the phone. Remember to be inventive and you will always keep each other interested.
