Long Distance Love
Hey readers, today we’re discussing long-distance relationships and the way you can make them work out. Of course, it depends on the couple if they can actually survive the distance but you have to find the right partner. Not everyone is built for long distances, I know I’m personally not.
Now what most readers don’t know, I’m engaged to the love of my life and yes we’re going through a very tough time right now. No, we aren’t out of state long-distance. However, we aren’t currently sleeping in the same bed together but we are making it work. But the distance doesn’t always make things easier as well, so you just have to go with the flow sometimes.
Now there are obvious ways to make long-distance work; everyone should know them and in ANY relationship you should know these:
#1 Communication; communication is key in ALL relationships. If you’re not talking to your significant other about the problems you may be having in your relationship or life.. what’s really the point of being together.
#2 Date night; date nights are very important to have, whether you have money or don’t have the money you should always have time that you spend alone together. It’s how you can keep the relationship love alive.
#3 Social Media; social media can impact your relationship in all kinds of ways, it can be in a good way or a bad way. Not everyone should know every move you make in your relationship. As much grandmother used to say, don’t air your dirty laundry outside or it will get rained on.
#4 Arguments; arguments are a very huge part of any relationship, every couple has disagreements from time to time. However never let your anger get so out of control that you lose sight of what’s important to your partner. If you truly love your partner then any argument you’ll be able to solve and fix. My grandmother always use to say never let the sun go down on your anger, basically meaning don’t go to be mad at your significant other it’s really not healthy for the relationship or yourself.
#5 Compromises; in any relationship, there will be compromises that you will have to make. If your partner isn’t willing to compromise with you then maybe you’re not with the one.
How my fiancee and I make our relationship work, obviously we chat with each other through out the day. We check up on each other, make sure we’re both doing okay and in good health. There have been nights that we’ve both stayed up talking because of our mental health, especially during the holidays. But the main biggest goal is LOVE, he has my heart and soul and I have his and as long as that’s known to each other and others that’s all that matters.
That’s the main key in all relationships, you must have love in order for it to work out for you. If you don’t have love, you can’t have trust, and without trust you can’t have a relationship.
I have had longer-distance relationships where it never worked out because we were missing the biggest steps and they also weren’t good partners either. So, if you want a healthy relationship then follow the steps above and pick the correct partner. Don’t jump in head first or you may hurt yourself in more ways than one.
