Can Long Distance Relationships Work?

By Payo Hernandez

The answer is yes, certainly but there needs to be clear plans in place for eventually being together and within a reasonable time frame too.

It's only when the future is blurred and unclear without anything definite being planned that one or both parties will start to feel depressed and insecure about the relationship.

The plans you make while in a long distance relationship should be realistic, honest and 100% agreed upon by both of you, after all, it's likely that neither one of you will want to continue in a relationship where Skype, MSN, telephone calls and email are your only sources of contact over a long period.

To summarize then you should make your plans as a team and both agree on them, they should be achievable and realistic while also framed with a set time to accomplish them. It's vital that this is in place to avoid a 'freefall' feeling.

Hope is an amazingly powerful thing and a tremendous motivator, it's only when you lose hope that negativity can creep in and start to cause you problems and doubts.

You'll get to know each other in a different way during a long distance relationship. This is due to the fact that most of your communication will be done online with emails, chat, phone calls ECT and this can be an advantage as it allows you to build a deeper foundation before being together full time.

A great deal of human communication is non verbal and so it's really important to have physical contact with each other as much as you can. Online communication definitely has some severe limitations and there will be a point where you'll both feel like you've exhausted what it has to offer the relationship.

Real connections with people are rare. If you sense that this person is someone with whom you could develop a deep and meaningful relationship then don't let distance stop you. Lifelong happiness with a soul mate is worth the risk.
