How to Maintain and Grow a Long Distance Relationship

How to make a long distance relationship work.

Instructions

1. Make an attempt to call and talk with your significant other at least once a day. Purchase phone cards or phone plans that allow for free calls.

2. Download Skype onto each of your computers and communicate with each other over video.

3. Meet each other at a location half-way between the two of you. Plan destination dates in advance--the anticipation will give you something to talk about.

4. Be positive! Remember that things are never as bad as you think if you have each other.

5. Avoid jealously. Trust each other and know that you will both remain loyal. Give each other the benefit of the doubt when suspicions get the best of you

6. Send each other fun notes and gifts in the mail. Love letters can be very romantic.

7. Keep some of your significant other's belongings with you so that you can be reminded of them. Having a clothing item with their scent still on it can be especially heart-warming.
