I'm currently writing this Articles from my husband's apartment here in Nigeria. My husband and I got married 7months ago after a successful 2year long distance relationship. We both attended the same university, during the university days we are just a friends. Few year later, we met again through Facebook from there, we started dating and got married October, last year.
A long distance relationship is a relationship where the two individuals involved are living separate from each other. The distance can be for few days, years or months. Some people do believe that this kind of relationship is impossible, unreal, and can never work but as for me, aside from the distance that separates me from my partner, long distance relationship is just like any other relationship. It's a relationship that requires commitment, love, trust, care, communication and time just like every other relationship.
In long distance relationship, communication is so important. Communication is not just about greetings, it's all about be open, honest and real to each other. One of the reasons why long distance relationship failed nowadays, is as a result of lack of effective communication. You need to adapt the habit of talking to each other on a daily basis, mostly especially in the morning and night. Learn to listen carefully to your partner and ask a good question.
Communication can be made through phone call, social media platforms and text messages. At times do video call or send voice recording by joining together different forms of Communication the relationship can remain new, exciting and fun to be .
Another thing is trust. Some couples find it very difficult to trust each other completely because of the distance. You have to have strong faith in your partner that they will always remain loyal to you and love you. A relationship without trust didn't last longer. For a long-distance relationship to survive it takes a lot of trust from both partner. Trust in long-distance relationship can be achieved if you both are loyal to each other, remain positive and do away with negative thought.
Sometimes I always wonder how and why we never fought or have any disagreement true or the journey. Well, we trust, love and support each other. One thing I learned from long-distance relationship is that, even with the distance it's almost like he's living within me.
In conclusion, long-distance possible if only couples in long-distance relationship can build their relationship on love, trust, communication and respect. If you find yourself in one, just take your time and enjoy it. Long-distance relationship is the most beautiful form of relationships and it's require dedication and hard-work to make it work.
Thanks for your time on my blog.
