Long distance relationship advice is easy to give, but difficult to implement as it requires a lot of effort and discipline. Those who are in these types of relationships will know better. In this article, I will give you some tips and advice on what you should do and what you should not do in this type of relationship. If you have the will and the desire, you can conquer the distance by heart and make the relationship full of fun.
To do list
1. Effective communication
In any relationship, communication plays a vital role, even more so in long distance relationships. If the communication channels are broken, it doesn’t take long for the relationship to break down. Use all possible means available for communication, such as phone calls, instant messaging, communicator, Skype, etc. Modern technology has so many options that it reduces the virtual distance. Use channels effectively to keep your relationship on track.
2. Get to know each other
Most long distance relationships break down due to lack of meeting. Distance certainly makes the heart more loving, but at the same time remember, being out of sight makes one go crazy too. We see each other at regular intervals of time. This will help both of you catch up on the events in each other’s lives, and anticipating the encounter will not only generate excitement, but will give you the hope and motivation to maintain the relationship.
3. Sprinkle surprises
Surprising your partner will add sparkle and pizzazz to your relationships. The surprise could be sending flowers or gifts without any occasion, or just showing up without warning.
4. Trust
Trust plays an important role in all relationships. Do not abuse the trust placed in you by your partner. Just because you’re in a long-distance relationship doesn’t mean you can play games. Maintain normalcy in the relationship as much as possible. Exchange photos, videos, anecdotes, etc. This may not reduce the physical distance, but it will reduce the distance between hearts.
List of what not to do
1. Two times
Being in a long distance relationship does not give you the license to cheat. By doing so, you will not only put your relationship at risk, but you will break your partner’s trust and may cost you your relationship.
2. Don’t take your relationship lightly
Don’t treat your relationship lightly. Just because your partner is not around does not mean that you can manipulate and make arbitrary decisions without arguing with your partner. Treat your partner fairly.
3. Suspicion
There should be no suspicions in a long distance relationship. To have a successful relationship, trust each other with all your heart. If suspicion wins entry, then it will start to the end of what could have been a beautiful relationship.
