Making Long Distance Relationships Work
Long distance relationships are quite tough to maintain.
However, if done right, distance becomes a trivial issue, and does not get in the way of love at all.
If one has enough love for one's partner, and interest in keeping the relationship going, then it shouldn't be too tough.
First of all, it must be kept in mind that dedication and sacrifice are two things that cannot be done without.
Women require more attention than from their partners than men, while men tend to look for security and emotional support and reassuring words from their partners.
So men, keep calling your partners as often as possible.
Make them feel loved and secure.
Insecurity is one of the main reasons for break-ups when it comes to long distance relationships.
Don't ever make a woman feel insecure.
It does irreparable damage to your relationship, and could cause your relationship to start going downhill.
Make sure that you send gifts or other small things that will make your partner know that they are loved and that you really care for them and miss them a lot.
Women must ensure that they keep telling their partners that they love them, and will always be there for them no matter what.
As far as possible, they must try to avoid talking about anything that will arouse jealousy, insecurity or suspicion in their partners.
Men tend to be jealous when their partners spend time with other men, even if they know that the relationship between their partner and the other men is purely platonic friendship.
Women must tolerate men for this, as they are naturally very possessive.
Communication is the key to a good relationship.
By telling your partner about your day, all the things you did, the good things that happened, the things that annoyed you, stories about your friends, your work and other details about your life, you can make the distance between you and your partner seem smaller.
Use the internet to your advantage - videoconferencing and internet telephony cost virtually nothing.
Regular emails, text messages and even sending romantic hand-written letters via snail-mail are some super-effective methods of keeping the magic alive.
Take time off to do special things with or for your partner, and make sure they come to know about it.
When they realize that you value them more than anything else, there will be fewer miles between you and more smiles instead.
