There are many reasons why you may have a long distance relationship, but whatever your circumstances to make this work there are things that you need to know.
Long distance relationship are full of fears and insecurities. Normal relationships are hard enough, but trying to keep a relationship alive with many miles between you is never easy.
With all these miles between you the big question is will you last?
There is never a more important time to create goals or a vision together. This is because relationships need to grow and for this to happen you need to have something that you are working on together to fulfil a shared dream.
The dream could be to be closer together. If this is your dream what has to happen, what are the blocks how can you find you ways around those blocks, what solutions can you both come up with?
Creating this plan will keep you both going as you will see every day steps being made towards what you both really want.
This will remove your fears and insecurities, because you will see clear proof that a commitment is being made and that you are loved and important in your partners life and it’s only circumstances that are keeping you apart temporarily.
The key with any long distance relationship is understanding the intentions of your partner.
