Keeping Connected in a Long-Distance Relationship

In any relationship, you want to put your energy into making it stronger – and to do so continually. This takes time and effort on both sides to show that the care and concern are continuous. And in a long-distance relationship, this is especially true.

Over the miles between you, there are many opportunities to keep a long-distance relationship alive. With the invention of e-mail, you can easily communicate. You can both send regular updates on your lives, as well as pictures if you have the ability. This can make the days between phone calls and visits much more bearable. And if you both have an instant messaging program, then you can talk without the charges of long distance.

Letters and photos are always good for a long-distance relationship, as well as making plans for future in-person visits. By showing that you want to continue the relationship into the future, you are helping to gain the trust of your special someone. They can believe that you are in this for the "long haul". Small gifts can be sent at holidays or anniversaries as well. These gifts don’t have to be expensive or daily routine, but giving your love something to remind her of you makes the miles less important.

The key to making a long-distance relationship work is the amount of effort you put into it. Set up times to talk and meet with each other and you’re sure to keep your relationship strong. Constantly being in contact will ensure that you are able to communicate with each other and the time together will only be more special.
