A successful long distance relationship requires a lot of effort but it has it's definite positives too. Let me explain....

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • an open mind
  • a willingness to compromise
  • a lot of love in your heart
  1. Step 1

    Having a long distance relationship is never easy. Having a successful long distance relationship is even more challenging. But if you truly love your significant other then you won't have a problem doing what it takes to make it work. This an "affair of the heart" at it's deepest roots and will only work if you do the most important things that are at the heart of any long distance relationship. You need to communicate constantly to keep the connection strong.

  2. Step 2

    Remember what brought you together. Keep the spark alive when you are apart by laughing , making fun of each other on the phone, listening to and helping each other.Set up a definite regular schedule of visits to each others homes for weekends and romantic getaways to reinforce your love for each other. And stick to the schedule as continuity is critical to " keeping the love alive"

  3. Step 3

    Go on vacations together with your respective family members(children and their friends). It is something to plan together and look forward to. And it shows a commitment to do things you enjoy together..isn't that what brought you here in the first place??

Tips & Warnings
  • communicate constantly
  • send surprise gifts, cards, thoughtful presents
  • plan vacations
  • stick to the schedule
  • if you didn't know already .."distance makes the heart grow fonder"
  • tell your love just how MUCH you love her/him
  • this is not for the insecure or "faint of heart"..but if you have a true love for someone than you won't even think this way..
  • be steady, stay strong.
  • don't forget to express your love more than usual
