Relationships can be hard. Long distance relationships that have to deal with “blind trust”, limited physical contact, and travel schedules can seem close to impossible. I know at least 3 couples who are trying to manage the challenges and they all say it is worth it so far.

Long distance relationships won’t work without trust and a lot of effort to communicate. These things can be tough for people in the same house! Would you consider dating someone in a different city or country?

I think the thing that makes long distance relationships tolerable is when there is a solid plan to end the long distance issue. If you are both planning a move or relocation, you can start a countdown to when you will be together.

Have you ever had a long distance relationship? Did you learn anything from the experience?
