I personally think that Long Distance Relationship is one of the challenging types of relationships. It may or may not be successful depending on the people involved in the relationship. Actually, this could be a matter of culture as well. 

Trust and communication are essential keys in keeping such a relationship. One must trust his or her partner. If this is absent in their relationship, then having LDR would be an utter defeat. On would doubt the other and worries like "What if he/she is seeing someone else in that place?" often cross the mind. There would be a lot of "what ifs" in such a relationship. but when there is trust, then there'll be no room for doubts and worries.

Communication is another integral key in maintaining such relationship. Being physically away from the person you love is emotionally draining. However, when you update each other and communicate, then the physical absence would be filled in. Of course, longing to see the person would be there, however communication would somehow help. There'd be more eagerness to see each other again.

Earlier, I said it could be a matter of culture as well. I have a number of Korean friends and acquaintances and most of them told me that majority of Koreans believe in "Out of sight, out of mind." That's the reason why LDR isn't really effective for them. Well, this doesn't apply to all, but more often it does.

Anyway, I still believe that love is powerful. If it's real, then it'll go against all odds. Distance and time wouldn't be a problem. :)
