a long distance relationship especially between husbands and wives is really hard. you have to maintain communication as much as you can. but how can you make the love you feel for each other prosper if the only things you can give him/her are virtual hugs and kisses, lots of emails and e-cards on several occasions?

hey, friend... i also have a long distance relationship... me and my dear just can meet each other 3-4 time per year... normally, we will call each other... we will chat through phone at the morning and the night section... actually it really difficult to keep Long distance relationship grow but both of us must trust each other and confirm that each other is the only person that you wish to be together for your whole life... like my friend, after marriage, his wife been transfer to other place to work... at last, they can't stay together and divorce... it really very sad... because of distance, they don't believe each other, so at last, they divorce... so .... for me and my dear... we trust each other and we plan to married also.... although we know maybe after marriage, we still need to maintain this long distance relationship, but we believe each other and we look forward for our future....

I agree that maintaining a long-distance-relationship (LDR) is really hard. But I'm in it. I miss my dear everyday and i really wish we are together at the same place, but due to working problem and some other family problem, we have to maintain this LDR until we have enough $$ to move out.
In my opinion, the most important thing two people in LDR should have is TRUST and TRUE LOVE! That's important, and with that you can climb through every obstacle you face.

thanks for reminding me about trust corngrass..sometimes i forget how important trust is especially being far from each other. i guess because of the emptiness i feel from being apart triggers the doubts..
i know i should keep the faith!;o)

I can say its really hard to maintain a long distance relationship closely. My boyfriend and I were far from each other, we always communicate through the internet and phonecalls and sending cards. The only thing that annoys me and I felt down is when he is very busy and can't even give time for me specially on a nightime. And then I started melting my feelings. All I need for a long distance relationship is time for each other even how busy we are, even how far atleast there's a feeling that will make close to each other.Just a single text could be enough to remind me that he is thinking about me.

This could be a late reaction but I just want to share this and I know most of us already knows this. How do we spell love. It's spelled like T-I-M-E. As they say, what is love without time and what is time without love? When you love a person, it's not good saying that you're busy. Friends, work, study, etc. are also not excuses. You should spend even just little of your precious time to express how much you love him/her. Because time is the most precious gift you can give to the one you love.

i believe it can work people in the military do it all the time .you really need to stay in contact with one another send videos of your self and tell one another how much you care.
