Long distance relationships keep the passion alive

in life •  7 years ago 

There comes a time in life when you find the right person at the wrong moment. That’s also the case for long distance relationships.

The match between you two is amazing, the attraction is so strong that you can see fireworks and it seems that you get along perfectly, but one of you has to finish his studies in another town, his workplaces moves him from town to town or you simply live really far away from each other.

Although many people believe that long distance relationships are meant to fall apart, a lot of couples managed to overcome this obstacle and they ended up together. Here are a few tips on how to keep your passion alive.

Living in a world of limited time, we are often tempted to choose the most simple way of communication, writing. No one can deny that it’s really easy and fast to type a text, but if you only talk to your partner in writing you can lead your relationship to monotony.

You should always find some time to call each other. Just the sound of your partners voice will give you the feeling of closeness and will make the distance seem smaller. Besides that, you can always try to talk through skype or facetime.

Some of the most important aspects of a healthy relationship are your goals and common expectations. If you don’t talk with each other about them, you might find out too late that you want different things in life.

Don’t be afraid to ask each other questions, you might notice that you have a lot of things in common and you will feel more secure about your future together and a lot closer to one another.

Clearly, you are both going to be busy with studies, work, or other responsabilities that seem to take away all your free time. The thing is, you will find out in time that communication and trust can’t entirely replace the feeling of touching your partner and your sex life.

Although you might feel that you don’t have enough time to enjoy little escapades, try to visit each other occasionally. You could double your work volume in one day so you can enjoy one free day added to your weekend. It might seem like a pretty big effort, but think about the happiness you’ll both feel when you’ll be together.

Of course, it’s important that you follow all of these steps, but what’s more important is to be positive, to love each other unconditionally and to hope for the better. You might be the exception to the rule and live together happily ever after.

I will say it totally depends on how you manage and what kind of personality you have.

That's my case now! I have a distant relationship and for now it works great. Of course, I prefer to call her and hear her voice, even for a couple of minutes during the day, if we have the chance! Writing messages is not a good choice. Of course sometimes we write each other, but that's pretty normal. Definitely every week I dream abut the days off work.

Of course sometimes it's hard to be alone, when we are set apart, but this really makes things even greater when we see each other. Travelling about 200 kilometers every week (every direction) is not very easy too, but passion makes it seem like a child's play!

Of course, you have to trust each other a lot, because if you are not trustful, the things will not be very "pink"and flawless.

You just take me back through memory lane. Its sure sad and yeah i lost the one i truly love because of the calling thing why because am not really the calling type and besides she barely call and i saw it as lack of interest for the both of us but maybe as the man in it,am suppose to make much effort but I didn't. But am a good at forgetting sad times but its easily brought back,thats what your post did. But sure its alright and am okay though because i believe some nice things might not really last forever,thanks for taking me through memory lane but i am still having a slight chance to work on it because we still slightly communicate even from a distance and we planning to see how it goes but there is an issue because it will come to a time when she's through with school and she will finally get off from the state we used to be in and go back to her base and i think we might never see and we are alittle bit aware of that. Thanks for allowing share my own view too..😐

LDRs can be a challenge to sustain. They start off with the initial flush of excitement and over time if the belief in the relationship wanes, then the outcome is not ideal for both parties. That belief has to be buttressed with regular communication - easier done today. The depth of the communication should evolve to higher levels where a vision of a shared life and aspirations are discussed. Plans should also be made to meet in person as often as possible until the opportunity to unite in person for extended periods become possible.

My husband and I spent 3 months back and forth online. Ha ha and then one day he just turned up with a U-haul and kidnapped me. That was 11 years ago. So it can work out - I feel I am a testament to that.

Communication is the backbone of long distance relationship. People do tend to think that trust makes it work perfectly well but when there is no communication the trust suffers. Thanks for this post.

long distance relationship will not be a problem because the distance will not be able to change the hearts of two people who love each other with the truth.

Great post and tips. @jwolf

For me to maintaining or reigniting passion is the path we already walked when the relationship began. By keeping or increasing your conscious interest and focus on your partner, you stay engaged with one another. In turn, by creating moments, even micro-moments of intentional action toward and for each other you encourage your connection to stay strong. Passion is fueled by consistent consciousness and creative connection between two partners.

I think that the long distance in a relationship is really bad..

You can always do one of two things in long distance relationships, you either find a round to bridging the distance or you disband.

Long distance relationships keep the passion alive...True 100% True @jwolf

Now, enjoy your life.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder! ( usually of someone else)

I agree with everyone, but there comes a moment when the other needs a shoulder to cry on...or just to cuddle.., it is a risky business, if the relationship doesnt have a conclusion like after 1-2 years we move in a city together, determination...

Or summed up: Proper communication is the key

I dont know what your explanation is for this. But i know that, if that relationship is not granished with effective communication and commitment, such as meeting within a months. Its sure going down.

Seriously i totally agree with you @jwolf. I am one of who you are talking about, distance relationship is never easy especially when you not in the same country, but what keeps the vibe on is a better communication, we talk countless of time every day voice / video calls. But i know some day that the future is gonna get better between us. Thanks @jwolf for the encouraging post
