How to Make a Long-Distance Relationship Last

[**Sapphire**]

Step1 Keep in touch daily. If large phone bills are a concern, send e-mail, letters, cards and even faxes.

Step2 Plan reunions to keep both of you pleased about the relationship. If your partner needs closeness, set up plans to meet often. Having a date to look forward to can help you through the rough times.

Step3 Reaffirm your love and commitment to one another. Try not to assume that the relationship is thriving. Listen to your partner's concerns and communicate your own before they become bigger problems.

Step4 Keep your partner informed about your life. You may live separately, but sharing information about your activities and friends is still important.

Step5 Trust in one another. Suspicion will only break the relationship down.

Step6 Keep the relationship a high priority. Avoid canceling reunions or putting off a phone call.

Step7 Focus on the future. Make plans to live in the same city eventually.


Tips & Warnings

Plan a reunion in a city other than the ones you live in. Having a weekend getaway or vacation together can help recharge the relationship and reinforce your commitment.

Find ways to reduce the costs of travel and phone calls so you can meet and talk more often.

Surprise your loved one with an unexpected visit or a bouquet of flowers to keep the passion alive.

Be patient - it may take time for long-term plans to work out.

Consider other creative means of expressing your devotion: Scrawl confessions on a mirror, fan or piece of cloth. Fire off a quick succession of postcards.

I am 25 and the girl I am dating is 28. We met on a dating website. This girl is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. She is in her final year in her physician assistant program and I will be attending law school within a year.

Great tips! Also, I would say, if you and your loved one are miles apart and you don’t get to see each other so often, it is important to maintain a presence in each other's daily lives as much as possible. Give your sweetheart a personal object of yours when you’re apart so that in a time of need, when they miss you, they are able to hold on to something that reminds them of you. This will provide comfort, happiness, and the thought of being with you.

Be a friend to them forever. I met a man back in 1971. He had just came back from the Vietnam war. He is Puerto Rican and resides in NYC now. We are still friends and still talk to each other this day. It's been many years for us. We were involved as a couple for a long time after we met. Although he was married, had a child on my birthday, he has had two other children since with two different women. He is involved in an on and off affair right now, and it is nice to help him go through his trails and tribulations in his ongoing offgoing relationship right now. I am married, almost thirty years now. It is not the best of relatonships but it is my marriage. My husband is very smart, gets angry a lot at me, but we tend to always go to bed with each other at peace at night. We have two beautiful daughters and I wouldn't change my life right now for anything. We always accept the good and bad in our relationshps, or should.
