How to Keep a Long Distance Relationship Alive

If they tell you that long distance relationship does not work is maybe because it doesn't work for them. Long distance relationship works for some people and to others do not. As I can say, it really works for me.

There are major keys to keep a long distance relationship going.

Trust and Faith -If you have faith that it will work, then it will be fine, just continue. If trust is not an issue, time will. For the first couple of months, it would be very bumpy and is hard to keep especially when you miss each other.

Physical Contact is important but in a long distance relationship. If it is just 2 to 3 hours away, then make an effort to travel. Make the alternate rule. If you have time, go to her/his place, If the other have, then maybe he/she can go to your place. Or if this doesn't work, then meet the half way. This can be beneficial to both of you because you get to spend more time to each other.

But then again, what if this doesn't work? The reason is when you are far because one of you must work abroad? Communication will play a major role.

A long distance relationship can work when you have great communication. Minimum of twice a day would do. There lots of ways make contact. A couple of text messages, e-mails, chat and even snail mail. A simple note saying I love you would do.

Blogging is also a great way to have communication. Online blogging is like making an online diary about your self or what you are doing or anything that you want to share to your love one abroad. You can even put pictures and videos so that your love one will be updated. You could both do this. You can start by registering at http://www.blogger.com. This is the easiest way to start a blog.

Long distance relationship takes a lot of work. Think of it as positive and don't lose hope. Take in consideration your feelings. If you truly love each other, it will definitely work. I am now married and have our 9 months old daughter. After a month of relationship, my wife traveled abroad and works for a year. And when she returns, we get married. It works for me, how about you?
