can love really survive long distance?

I've been in long distance relationship for almost 2 years. Everything is fine as long as you and your lover can maintain a good communication. Communication and understanding are the keys in LDR.

I have always been afraid of long distance relationship and now it makes me worry more because soon i might be in one lol

Love can do miracles for it is powerful. We cannot judge the success of a relationship just by observing how close are how far couples are from each other. The success of love depends on the two people involve in the relationship. As long as the ingredients of true love are there, no problems can separate the two even the distance. So, what are those ingredients I am talking of? They are love, respect, trust,communication and honesty. I know that lovers can do everything for the person they love. Those things can be good or bad. All those things that we think are impossible become possible for a person who is in love is determined to be with what his or her heart is longing for.

yes it can, If you truly love someone distance shouldn't matter, It takes more effort to make the relationship work, But true love is worth it.. Happy mylotting!

I think love can survive a long distance relationship as long as both lovers know how to keep the communication alive. Distance will never be a hindrance but when communication is lost, it will really destroy the relationship. Couple must realize how valuable it is to remind about their love for one another and only then will they be able to survive and overcome any struggles and obstacles in a relationship.

as the saying goes;distance test of love!But if it is in a different country,it is not as good as early break up,beacuse i don't think it will be long,as you said!but if it is in a country in a different cities,for their career apart,which is understandable,distance produce beauty!

Welcome to mylot, thanks for this discussion,I was in your country as a visiting professor, so i know how difficult it is to get a job, most leave your country for jobs,i am also aware of male to female ratio, so some male leave their wives and have multiple relationships. Those far communicate via posts and comments in face book.

It can if both are mature and trust each other, but I think that between this long distance the couple have to meet at least twice a year, just to reconnect and remember again.

Anything is possible for as love as you have the love, respect and understanding with one another. We always hope that our partners would be faithful to us no matter how long we won't be together. And I think that if you truly love that person, you will not do anything that will destroy that trust.

This may sound cheesy but if two people really love and are committed to each other, they can withstand anything, including distance. It's true, there are physical needs and nothing beats being with your partner especially after difficult times. But as long as there's trust and communication, love will survive :)

I think it can survive anything if it`s real love ...... people always search for an explanation to get away from their faults that`s why they say long distance relationships won`t work but that`s only because the person wasn`t sincere enough if you r sincere and you have the will to keep the relationship going then everything will be fine

My boyfriend and I also are not in one city for some reasons. But we love each other. He became my husband last year. Love can overcome the distance between lovers. A real love also should stand many difficulties form life.
