Recently, I heard a story of how a family broke up. The husband was in Abuja and the wife was in Oyo state.
They thought that because they trusted themselves, their marriage could not break. The husband
committed adultery with an illiterate lady in Abuja and wanted to marry her...
For couples living in different locations can you please share with readers
what do you miss most while away from your partner?
How do you cope while away from each other?
What measure do you take to safeguard your family from breaking up?
What reasons keep you apart?
What effects does it have on your marriage?
Your response could save a family from breaking. Thank you

Staying apart from your spouse is a recipe for disaster especially for young couples, I'v never bin an advocate of distant relationships

Not everybody is strong to resist such temptations when they come

Well it really depend on the level of their trust and understanding. When hubby got a job in another city, we both agreed for him to go cos of the financial advantage of it. But looking at what we're sacrificing I'll say it doesn't worth it. We communicate very well but the big gap is there at times i just wish he was there when i got back from work and no one to talk to (no kid yet). I assume the role of hubby and wifey now. We are weekends couple now sat and sundays. I'll say it's not the best to be apart from one's partner in any circumstances. What keeps us going is that we understand and trust each other.

Thanks for your comment I pray that God bless your family with children soonest and continue to uphold your family.

Long distance relationship is not easy and not meant for everyone. But let's not make it look like it's impossible. After all aren't some ladies successfully married to career soldiers and diplomats who are always on the move and may not come back in one piece? There are couple who see and live in the same house yet are miles distant apart emotionally because it's fight everyday. Despite living together they still cheat on each other. A cheat is a cheat and should not justify it by long distance absence.

1. With social media and real-time communication via FB, Skype, Facetime, Whatsapp, people in long-distance relationship have learned to stay in touch and close the gap.

2. Planned vacations: Rotate visits. During his vacations he visits you, and during yours you visit him. Make good use of the time and not fighting and quarreling.

3. keep yourself usefully busy either with career, education, or volunteer work in the community or the church.

4. Keep amebos and nosy 'know-it-all' friends away. They will cause you more problems than good making you see problems where there's none or even advising you where and how to cheat and get away with it. They toy with your emotions and brain.

5. Finally, plan to collapse the distance. With time plan to live together. Let the separation only be temporary maybe while he's looking for a better accommodation, or trying to file papers for his wife. Knowing that the seperation is only temporary only helps to reduce the frustration.
