Major Tips for a Successful Long Distance Relationship

 In most cases, your partner could be distant such that you are not able to see them on a daily basis or just anytime. Situations where you travel on weekends or occasionally to be able to see your partner is when we call it a long distance relationship. 

TRUST AND COMMUNICATION.

Relationships are hard. Add distance to the equation and it becomes a herculean task. Although, in a long distance relationship you will handle even harder tests so you have to communicate. You might spend less time communicating but ensure you tell it out to your partner since they aren’t there to see your emotions, make them understand how you feel while communicating. Trust also comes hand in hand with communicating since you’re not expected to lie to your partner at any given circumstance.

SET GROUND RULES TOGETHER.

There are a few thing you will need to agree on before engaging in a long distance relationship. Discuss on how often you will be communicating and how often you will be meeting despite it being long distance. Finding a common means of communication is part of it too. Ground rules are basically what you will be doing from day to day and how you will be making decisions.

TRY VIDEO CHATS

Seeing someone’s face while you communicate especially with someone you love always brings a sense of belonging and trust. Include lots of video calls and chats to lighten up your conversations. Video chats build trust in a large way in that your partner feels secure to know where you are at a particular time and they get to share the same with you.

DO NOT TEXT ALL DAY LONG.

This is a good tip for any relationship. If you feel you are running out of conversations, then recheck your communication patterns. Texts are meant to be used in emergencies and not from time to time. If you keep updating your partner on what you are doing, you will end up with nothing to tell them at the end of the day or during a phone call, so, use texts when it is an emergency and you have to inform your partner. Otherwise let in your day to day activities or achievements until you do have a meaningful conversation and bring it up. You will never lack something to talk about.

SEND EACH OTHER SURPRISE GIFTS.

Sending something wonderful to your partner and ensuring it’s something they’d love is a great feeling. When you hear him mention something he likes, make an effort to get it for him if he doesn’t have it.

Making your partner feel special while he’s far away is a great way to boost your long distance relationship. Whatever concerns you ensure to bring it in a constructive way in order to bring your relationship back on track.
