It's really difficult to make proximal/local relationships work, but having miles between you makes it even harder. Is it possible to be loyal to your partner though your miles away? What tips can you give to have a successful long distance relationships?

I don't think long distance relationship can't work.Maybe we can't talk throught the phone or we can send message,email.But I think the feeling will change after a long time,like 2 years.Before that,possibly we can still feel the love between each other throught the contact.But after we meet,we may feel the love feeling imaginable has changed

Hi kingkiskile! I think there is nothing impossible with love. If both couples love each other so dearly, I think they can still find different ways to boost their relationship. They have to be very honest and loyal to each other. They must talk everyday let's say over the phone just like they are close to each other. There's a saying that goes. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." Have a great day ahead! Always keep on loving!

For a relationship to be long lasting, both parties should have loyalty on their own. There still have to be a constant communication with them. Communication not just thru phone but also virtually like using a webcam to chat. Always give time to your partner so that each one will feel the importance of their relationship.

Hi ralphcharleston! Yes, for a long distance relationship to work out, both of them should be loyal to each other and, of course, trust should also be there. They should always communicate to each other through tele/cellphone and it is even much better to chat in the Internet with web camera. So, they will still feel they are close to each other though they are miles away. Both of them should let the other feel how important they are to each other. No matter how busy, they should always find ample time to talk and share their feelings to each other.

My husband is now based in the province and is able to come home to us one weekend in a month. He's been there for about a month and a half and it's really difficult. He bought me and our daughter a cellphone. We talk on the phone all the time an we text a lot. There's also email and chats galore.
i am really thankful that at least we are just in the same country and a short plane ride away.
yes, it is very possible to be loyal because if one is really committed then he/she will stay loyal.

Hi jammyt! It's really difficult to keep partners together when both of you are far from each other. I agree with you, there should always be communication among you. If possible communication should be everyday and it's great if you talk about what's happening to the both of you. You really have to say sweet things with each other as if you are just close to each other.

Its not easy when you are away from your partner, but if the foundations of your relationship are strong (trust, love, respect, loyalty, faith) then distance does not matter. Both partners should make extra efforts to make up for the distance in other ways.
