Meet as often as you can
It is just not the same when you keep in touch over phone or the webcam, a relationship needs to touch base by personal meetings. Love is not just about the chemistry you once had, it is equally important to keep the flames going or things can become stale. This requires work and for that you need to plan on getting together as often as possible.


Be honest with each other
When you are in a long-term relationship it is vital that you do not lie to each other. Lies have the habit of coming to light at the most unfortunate times and biting you. Make sure that if you have slipped up and done something your partner may not like, he/she hears it from you.

Have a special thing to do together
When you are apart from each other it is but natural to feel a little insecure. It becomes important that you have something special that you share only with your partner. It could be something each knows that the other will only do with her/him.

 

Learn to be independent
When you are away from your lover, it is equally important to have your own thing to do. This way you will not be too clingy and have interesting things to share every time you meet. This is not only vital for long-term relationships but true for all relationships.

Accept that things will change
Things are going to be different when you are apart and you need to accept this. People are always growing up and this can be good. It need not necessarily mean that you are growing apart; it just means that the relationship is evolving and maturing.

 

Do not let other people into the equation
Long distance relationsihps are tough enough without letting others putting in their two cents worth. When you let yourself listen to well-meaning friends and interfering colleagues, you are going to end up over thinking and messing things up. Only you know the reality of your relationship and let us keep it like that and not let other mess things.

Make firm plans for the future
It is all well that you have a long distance relationship, but you need to plan on getting together permanently in the future, for it to truly work. Make firm plans for making this happen and work towards this goal.
