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.
