Yes I've been there. I had a bf for a year and we had this long distance relationship. I think it's a matter of consistent communication. I always believe that if there's a will to make it last then there's always a way. We usually chat when during the weekend and talk about how my week went on. IT lasted for a year. You might be thinking that if went fine, how come we're no longer together now? There are other personal reasons that went in between but it's not about finding someone else, I'm telling you. I still believe that distance makes the heart grow fonder. :)

Yes long distance relationship will establish more of yourself to each other to know more. Respect and love to each other, caring and understanding is mostly the factor of long relationship. Five to six years relationship will determine both of you what kind of lovers you are. You will know your likes and dislikes, temperament, tantrums, and your compatibility if you are truly mean for each other.It is a gauge where you can both establish your identity with each other as you go along with your relationship.

When my ex-boyfriend and I met we lived in different parts of the country and we had a long distance relationship for a year and a half. We talked on the phone almost every day and we exchanged some text messages during the day. We also exchanged letters, postcards and parcels. The letters and the parcels were a great way to keep in touch, and I was always really happy when I received a parcel or a letter from him. I was busy with school and he worked, so we couldn't meet very often, but when we finally met we really enjoyed the time we spent together.

3 words: Love, trust and communication. That should be self-explanatory. Love the person, trust the person, communicate (often) with the person. Needing space, going out, spending time with each other, etc will fall among those. Most relationships (long-distance/domestic) fail with lack of any of the 3 items. I believe in any relationship. It's up to the people comprising it to make it work.

the greatest foundation of any relationship is to have it centered on God - in this way you two will have genuine love, trust and respect.
