How To Stay Connected In A Long Distance Relationship

“A long distance relationship means that you have to have a lot more commitment, patience and strength, to keep the feeling of closeness alive”. This is not to say long distance relationship can’t survive because a lot of people are still in that kind of relationship and it still works.

Below are some ways to stay more connected with your partners even when they are thousands of miles away from you.

Don’t be afraid to make the maximum use of all the technology that you have available to you. Make use of facebook, Instagram, skype and so on to communicate with your partner.

Endeavour to call your partner instead of texting all the time.

Be sure to talk to each other everyday or at least every two days even if it’s for a minute.

Be sure to share every little detail with your partner. “One of the things you miss when you are in a long distance relationship is the ordinary, everyday details of each other’s life, by talking about what might before have seemed to be something completely boring, you will feel a lot closer to each other”.

Exchange photos every other day. Photos are one of the ways to stay connected in a long distance relationship.

Be honest with your partner and stay positive all the time.

Remember important annivaries for both of you, “when you are apart, celebrating anniversaries and birthdays is even more important, so don’t forget your partner’s birthday or any other important dates, remembering things like that will make your partner realise that you are still thinking about them, even if you can’t be with them every day”.

Talk about the future and make plans of when next you both will be together again. “Even if that time may be some way off yet, it will still give you both something to look forward too, if you remind each other that being apart won’t be forever, it will make the separation easier to deal with and it will give you both something you can work towards together”.

Visit each other anytime you can. “Seeing each other in person is the best way to stay connected, so make sure that you do see each other as often as you can, when you do see each other, make that time you have together really special too, get as much time as you can on your own with each other and spend some quality time at home, going out every day and night might be fun, but you will need time to talk as well”.
