1. 5 Secrets For A Successful Long Distance Relationship
Some wise man has rightly said, “If you want to live together, you first need to
learn how to live apart.” And, this is what LDRs (long distance relationships) offer you!
Long distance relationships are the test of a couple’s love for each other and an opportunity
for them to learn. There is no denying that there are a lot of things needed to maintain a
relationship and when it is a long distance one, it becomes all the more difficult.
Having said so, the added distance makes humblest things the sweetest as well. From
having meals together at the same table, holding each other’s hands, feeling of partner’s
touch, enjoying the walk hand-in-hand to smelling each other’s hair and so on, these minor
things make a communion even stronger.
Sure the long distance relationships are challenging, however, these 5 secrets will assure
that it will remain hale and hearty:
Open Lines of Communication
It is very important to foster an open as well
as honest dialogue with your partner.
Whether it is about your fear, possessiveness,
insecurity or whatsoever, just talk each and
every issue that you have. To build LDR in a
good shape, it’s very important to keep the
lines of communication open. Discuss small
issues beforehand so as to avoid letting them
turn big down the line. Even if it is some other
issue and you need some support, let your
mate help you and give you that required
care.
Trust Each Other
In long distance relationships where you
cannot see or meet your partner frequently, it
is very important to trust each other. I am not
saying that you should blindly trust your
mate but stop poking as well. There are times
when insecurity takes birth even in the most
secure relations, but that doesn’t mean that
you will spend your time fanatically checking
his/her Facebook messages or fussing about
the reason he/she isn’t responding to your
texts and calls. Bear this in mind!
Plan For Meetings
After so much of waiting, yearning and
abstinence, meetings can do wonder for
building a successful long distance
relationship. These are the times when you
can finally fulfill your desires of holding a
hand, feeling each other’s touch and so many
other things. Nothing can beat such an
overwhelming emotion where it is all
rainbows and butterflies everywhere.
Meetings are significant in all the
relationships but in the case of LDRs, they are
even more special and overpowering.
Apologize For Your Mistakes
It is not that difficult to ask for forgiveness. It
is important to confess and apologize as and
when you think that you have done something
wrong. This is how the wounds in your long
distance relationship can be healed. Even if
the mistake that you did was unintended, it is
a very good notion to ‘say sorry’ without
taking it to your ego. Asking for forgiveness is
not a conclusion of you being at fault rather it
tells that you value your relationship more
than your ego.
Keep the Fire Going
The attraction between the partners plays an
important role to build a healthy relation.
You need to keep that fire of love going on
and on and on…It is vital to keep yourself on
his mind and vice-versa for there are a lot of
people nearer to your mate than you. Even if
you are miles apart, make each other feel
wanted and special. To bring a big smile on
your partner’s face, all you can do is send
greetings, flowers or anything.
Long Distance Relationships are often tough but with these secrets you can expect lovely
surprises. These are the secrets you can employ to make love alive and strong in LDR.
Distance doesn’t matter; it is your love for each other, the feeling that you both share and your
hearts that need to be in a chord and there you go!
