How to make a long-distance relationship work for you and your partner

If you’ve met someone online and now you’ve started a long-distance relationship, sometimes you may wonder whether you are able to make it work or not. Hence, I’d like to share some insights with you in this blog article.

Are you removing the barriers to being together?

In a long-distance relationship, there should be a time and a place you are both working towards where you will remove these barriers to being together & things will surely get better. What really drives both of you forward is the compelling horizon.

Be sure to have a common goal to work towards in your romantic relationship, e.g., one of you relocating. In this way, your relationship definitely has a sense of direction. In order to make a long-distance relationship work, you have to build a beautiful shared vision in the first place. What’s more, you can attach a positive association or meaning to your relationship, e.g., both of you becoming much better communicators, cultivating your independence/freedom & having some space to think about each other.

Maybe you even feel resentful of the situation at times, yet please do remember that you have chosen this due to how you feel about her.

Note that you must communicate with each other every single day via texting, phone conversations or online chat. This doesn’t have to take a lot of time – even one text message per day can keep the relationship going. Of course, you may want to add some variety to the communication, so you can call her or have a video chat with her on the Internet sometimes. Don’t forget that variety is indeed the spice of life and love! When you are talking with her, do mention the shared vision often and flirt!

Visit each other as frequently as possible.

If the distance isn’t too long, you would be well-advised to visit each other once a week. But if the distance is way too long, you should probably visit each other several times a year because spending quality time with your partner is paramount when it comes to building a deep and high-quality connection in a serious relationship.

Almost every person who has a successful long-distance relationship is a great writer as sending emails and text messages requires lots of writing each day. If the quality of writing is high, the quality of their communication is also high, which makes their relationship more meaningful. No wonder online dating is highly recommended to those who can write pretty well.

Obviously, if you are able to write romantic poems or love letters, you should totally do that for your partner because you want your partner to remain interested and excited. But if you can’t do that, maybe now it’s a good time to learn a new skill! Alternatively, you can hire a ghost-writer who is able to write love letters and romantic poems on your behalf. So, you might consider websites such as UpWork.com or Fiverr.com for ghost-writing projects like this.

Indeed, when you are in a long-distance relationship, you actually have an amazing opportunity to evolve independently by learning something new regularly. For example, you can read books, study online programs or hire a mentor who is able to give you a new direction in your career or your life. I’ve done all of these and I can confirm that knowledge is true power & implementing knowledge is tremendous power. After reading so many books, studying a wealth of online programs and learning from seasoned mentors, I have built a new career for myself and transformed my life in many ways. If I can do that, you can do that, too! I’m sure when you meet your partner again, she will find you more attractive because you are a growth-driven guy!
