5 Tips To Have Great Long Distance Relationship

While living far apart adds a new dimension to a relationship, it doesn't mean that it's the end of the world. You can make it work if you try. Here are some tips to maintain long distance relationship.

* Make as Much Time for Each Other as Possible

When you are living worlds apart, you have to take advantage of whatever time you can have together. It used to be that the only communication option you had was a telephone, and the only time you could talk is when you were both home.

* Don't Multitask When You are Talking to Him

When you are talking or video chatting with him, don't try to do ten other things at the same time. Let him know that he's important and has your attention.

* Say What You Need to Say

When you have limited time together, it's easy to push feelings and concerns under the rug because you don't want to spoil your time talking about something that may start a fight or hurt feelings. But, if you hold things in and don't share them, you are opening a door to resentment and problems that may get too big to fix.

* Enjoy the Time You Do Have Together

At some point in time, you will be together, even if it's only for a few days, and enjoying some well needed time with each other. If it doesn't happen very often, make sure you enjoy it.

* Balance Serious Talks With Fun Ones

A huge mistake that couples can make is spending their entire talk time discussing work challenges or home obligations. That stuff does need to be discussed, but not all the time. You still have to have laughs and good times too. If every talk is the same thing time and time again, you will both lose interest and that isn't good.
