10 Best Tips On Making A Long Distance Relationship Work by jannydear(f): 5:14am On Apr 10, 2018
For most people, long distance relationship is a big NO-NO. Many people believe that long distance relationships are never going to work out and they may be discouraged by friends and family. No doubt long distance relationships could make things quite complicated, and at times, you could become sad and lonely. The relationship may be hard-hitting, but they have their own surprises too. To keep your love alive and strong, here are 10 tips to make your long distance relationship work:

Try regular and creative communication
Try to update your partner on daily happening in life at your zone, no matter how ordinary it may see. You can spice it up by sending each other audio clips, pictures and short videos regularly. It is necessary to greet each other “good morning” and “good night” every day while apart.

Avoid excessive communication
You don’t have to communicate 12 hours a day at a stretch! It would only make you overly possessive and may kill rather than keep the relationship going. Many couples think that they need to compensate for the distance with very long calls. This is not true. Remember: Less is more. You are only going to exhaust yourselves with excessive communication. It’s not about long calls, but teasing at the right moments and tugging at the right spots.

See it as an opportunity
Instead of thinking that this long distance relationship is pulling you two apart, see it as a test of your love for each other. See it as an experience that would bond both of you stronger together. As the Chinese saying goes, “Real gold is not afraid of the test of fire.”

Resist Temptations
Avoid doing things that would displease your partner. If going to the club or going drinking with your group of friends late at night will upset your partner, then you ought to avoid it. If you must, inform your partner earlier so as to reassure him or her. Also, It could be easy for you to fall into temptation which you, unconsciously or not, set up for yourself by hanging out with the pretty colleague your office after work, or going out with a girl or guy from your past who has been flirting with you. You need to recognize the dangers before entering into the situation.

Add sexual chats to your talks
Sex isn’t only biological, it’s equally emotional as well. Sexual intimacy is unquestionably one of the most important things between couples. It’s like a glue that keeps both parties from drifting apart. So, keep the flames burning by sending each other flirty texts filled with sexual suggestions.

Remain honest with each other
Talk about your feelings of jealousy, insecurity, fear, apathy, and others that may be bothering you. If you try to hide anything from your partner, that secret will sooner or later have a negative impact on you. Don’t try to deal with things all by yourself. Be open and honest with each other. Let your partner help you and give you the support you need.

Get a good messaging app
Texting is the most frequent and common way of communication for the two of you. So you need a good messaging app on your phones that allows for better communication beyond just words and emoticons.

Make visits to each other
Occasional visits are the high spot of every long distance relationship. After all the waiting, longing and abstinence, you finally get to meet each other to fulfill all your heart’s desire.

Spot on! You hit the nail on this one. Might I also add that you need trust, a healthy dose of it if your long distance relationship has any chance of thriving at all.
