Relationships generally requires a lot of work, dedication. If you’re in a long distance relationship Congrats! You’ve got a free ticket to an emotional roller-coaster ride!

Some days will be fine but there will be difficult days too. Don’t panic as long as you both love each other you’ll scale through. Long distance relationship can be sustained if both parties are willing to put in the work.

There are few things that needs to be put into consideration if you’re willing to make it work;

1: Make trust the foundation of your relationship.

2: communication is key.

3: Make sure your goals align.

4: Avoid excess communication.

5: Stay honest with each other.

6: Be there” even when you can’t actually be there.

7: Focus on the positive aspects of long distance.

8: Feed your emotional intimacy by asking deeper questions.

9: Talk about your future together. 

10: Find ways to be a happy person even if you are not together. 

Relationships don’t make people happy. People make themselves happy. Happier people are more fun to be around. Find ways to make yourself happy and enjoy your life so that you have positive energy to contribute when you connect or are together.

Before accepting to be in a relationship with that person far away, put these things into consideration and be sure you’re ready to make efforts

A very funny recent video I saw stated: To love is to suffer, to avoid suffering, one must not love, but then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love, to be happy then is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy, to be unhappy one must love or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness
