10 TIPS ON SURVIVING LONG DISTANCE LOVE

-
My husband and I have loads of experience with long distance love. We have been hundreds of miles apart on the same continent, as well as being on two completely different continents for months at a time. It is not easy but we are survivors. Below are some tips that we follow that help us keep our love intact. Hopefully they will work for you too!

  1. Pray together over the phone and for each other throughout the day.
  2. Exchange pictures of each other via text or the web daily.
  3. Let him or her know how much you miss and love them daily.
  4. Keep positive thoughts: This is important because the mind, I believe, has a tendency towards making negative assumptions.
  5. Stay busy with church, volunteering in your community or sports.
  6. Work on self improvement: This can be changing your hair, tweaking your style, or adapting better eating and workout habits (lifestyle changes).
  7. Make each other laugh as much as possible by reminiscing about funny moments that you share.
  8. Send your significant other homemade videos of yourself and family, yes, animals included.
  9. Make a picture slide show comprised of your most memorable or exciting moments and send to your significant other.
  10. Use "emoticons" to send hugs and kisses. I find these very helpful when I sense that my husband is having a not so good day and needs a hug. 
Please comment and let me know what you think about this post! I am also interested in hearing what you do to keep your long distance relationship alive. Thanks for reading!

Discussing common interest that you all share is a great way to start a conversation! To keep it from getting dry, in theory, is to share experiences/outings such as going to the Arcade, taking a walk, going to the movies, even out to dinner! This way you will have other things to talk about! Communication is key in a relationship but never change who you are as a person to accommodate or please anyone else. They should love and/or like who you are as a person and show interest in you!

FOREVER HERE

Do you hear her? Are you listening? Her tears are done She is getting up and walking out right now as we speak She wants you to know that it is more to being a husband than giving her this ring. She told me to give it back to you... She said that you may look at it and notice how she took care of it; that it is so shiny and brilliant and clean. She told me to make  sure and tell you that her tears are what kept it so clean for you after all these years...
