123 To Make A Lovely Long Distance Relation

You'd have to be a serious 

commitment-phobe to choose to live 

hundreds -- or even thousands -- of 

miles away from the man you love. 

 

But 

sometimes it's just not up to you. 

Career, school and family are just a 

few of the factors that keep lovers 

whispering sweet nothings into phones 

instead of each other's ears. But if you 

think a relationship is doomed because 

of distance, think again. According to 

stats compiled by the Center for the Study of Long-Distance Relationships 

(yes, there really is such a thing), the myth that most long-distance 

relationships fail is just that: a myth. 

 

The reality is that more couples are making it work than you might think. 

Over thousands couples are living in separate Indian cities today, and another 700,000 LDR couples are actually married. So how do you stay close (and get even closer) when you're so far

apart? It's not simple, but it's not 

impossible -- and these five tips can 

help:

 

♥ Be clear about expectations up front. 

Don't wing it; plan ahead. According to 

Dr. Greg Guldner, director of the 

Center for the Study of Long-Distance 

Relationships and author of Long 

Distance Relationships: The Complete 

Guide, the difference between LDR 

couples that make it and ones that 

don't can be summed up in two words: 

ground rules. Dr. Guldner explains that 

nearly 70 percent of LDR couples who 

didn't anticipate changes -- or talk 

through their game plan for dealing 

with them -- broke up within six 

months. The most important point, of 

course, is, are we monogamous?

 

♥ Express yourself. 

Even couples sharing the same zip 

code frequently have trouble telling 

each other how they feel. So imagine 

how much harder it is for lovers who 

can't use the power of touch to stay 

connected. Dr. Gary Chapman, author 

of The Five Love Languages for 

Singles, says, "It's important to figure 

out how to make your long-distance 

partner feel cherished. This can be 

done with words. For example, 'If I 

were with you, I'd give you a big kiss.'" 

The relationship expert adds, "Share 

the day-to-day events going on in 

each other's lives. This is all geared to 

staying so close that when you do get 

together you won't have that awkward 

transition period where you feel like 

strangers."

 

♥ Spice up the long-distance lovin'. 

Sure, sex is best when you're in the 

same room, and the happiest LDR 

couples strive to be together as often 

as possible. However, there are ways 

to keep the fires flaming from a 

distance. Creativity is key. That's why
