1. In making a long distance relationship work the first and most important thing you need to do is wanting to make it work and love that is strong enough to handle it.
2. If you feel you have this and you really want to try the long distance thing then it is important to have complete trust in your partner and to be completely honest with them. Like any relationship trust and honesty are key factors to making it work, but when you are in a long distance relationship these two things become even more important. This because you are apart more often then you would probably be if you both lived in the same town.
3. The other important thing to have in a long distance relationship is solid communication. It is so important not to keep your feelings bottled up inside of you because it will put strain on the relationship. If you tell your partner how you feel you guys will be better able to fix the issues and find ways to keep that issues from recurring.
   
   I know that long distance relationships are tough and they don't work for everyone. I do believe though that if you truly want it to work and have trust, honesty, and communication it can. My husband and I were in a long distance relationship for 4 years and things were always tough on us especially since there was a time we went a year without seeing each other. I believe that anyone who focuses on their partner during a long distance relationship will succeed, and having support around like family and friends really helps too.
