Let’s get it out. Long distance relationships are tough! It’s difficult enough dealing with regular relationship issues. Adding distance to it seems to add more pressure to the relationship and if not managed properly may not work out eventually even though the couples in question are compatible.


Missing our partners greatly is what makes long distance relationships tough but here are a few ways to make time pass better:

1. Communication: This tops the list because it is the binding agent that every long distance relationship needs to survive. It cannot be overemphasized. Whether it’s making daily calls if your budget can handle it or sending photos to each other on a daily basis. Constant communication helps to build trust.

2.         Videos: You may record short videos of yourself of an event you attended. This keeps your partner informed about what you do every day.

3.         Blog: If the idea isn’t too cheesy for you, you can create a private blog that only you and your partner can view. The best part of this is it is free and easy. Just post messages, videos, inspirational quotes etc. Your lover would be excited to view the blog and find a new post from you.

4.         Gifts: Thanks to free shipping from many online stores all over the world, Distance is no excuse to send gifts to your partner. It’s important not to make your partner feel like he/she is missing out because of distance. Gifts are a physical reminder of what you mean to each other. It’s like having an inanimate representation of your love.

5.         Video calls: With the invention of Skype, many long distance couples have been able to bond better. Get creative. Watch a movie together, have dinner or play board games together. If you’re in a Long distance relationship, Skype should be your best friend.

6.         Regular Visits: No matter the activities that you both have apart, it’s important to save up for visits at least once in a year. Nothing says I love you like a live sized breathing being at your door with roses in one hand.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            posted by Emanto Ngaloru  Jan 25, 2014.
