How to make a Long Distance Relationship Interesting

If you
thought your long distance relationship would just happen to be
interesting, think again. A stage comes in every relationship when
being separated from your partner for long does not stir up
longing. In fact this is the real test of your relationship and
sincerity of your commitment. Technology has made things far
easier these days than the way things were a few decades back,
but still there is no denying the possibility of "out of sight, out of
mind" when it comes to keeping the spark alive in your
relationship.
Useful tips to survive a long distance relationship
Try communicating at least once a day with your partner. It
is not important to have a long chat but you do need to
share your problems and discuss to resolve relationship
issues, if any. The conversation should reinforce the
emotional bond.
If you cannot enjoy the same activities while being
physically together, each one of you can do the same at
your respective places. For example, watch the same movie
at the same time and discuss it later over phone or online
chat.
Do not let jealousy mar the delicate bond of your
relationship. You need to realise that your partner also has a
social life and you do not have to question his/her
whereabouts all the time.
Although it is wonderful to be together with the most
important person in your life, you have got to consider the
positive aspects of being alone. Let your creativity find
expression in something fruitful.
Nevertheless, always be there for your partner whenever
you are needed. If he/she learns to do everything by
themselves they would not feel the need of your advice or
reassurance.
At times surprise your partner by giving a call at an
unexpected time without bothering yourself with the
thought that he/she would be disturbed. Even if it is a little
irksome for your partner, the act of calling him/her at any
time would make them feel that they are being missed! This
works in favour of your relationship by strengthening your
bond.
Never fail to make your partner realise how important a part
of your life he/she is. Words like, "What would I do without
you!" would go a long way in deepening the bond of love
and sharing between you two, despite the physical
distance.
Being patient is the key to maintaining a long distance
relationship. Be on your guard when tending to be
impulsive.
Be understanding of your partner's expectations from you
and try to cooperate and reassure about them as much as
possible.
Be realistic about the difficulties that you may have to face in
maintaining a long distance relationship. But always remember
that with a little creativity, playfulness and patience, you can bring
much more spice in your relationship than you thought possible.
The advice for couples given here would surely help but if your
partner is really too wonderful to let go, the long distance would
surely not end your relationship.
