How do you keep distance from breaking up your relationship?
Cupid’s Advice:
There’s no doubt that being apart for extended lengths of time while you’re in a relationship is tough. Â Here are some ways to make it easier:
1. Use new technology: Now you talk to your significant other face-to-face every day if you wish, whether that means using Skype or Facetime on your iPhone. Â Make the distance a minor inconvenience instead of a deal breaker.
2. Consistently meet up: You can’t be a couple and literally never see each other. Â Whether you travel to see your partner once a week, once a month, or every few months, it’s important to make the effort to spend real time with your partner on a consistent basis.
3. Do things together: Yes, you’re clearly not together, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do things together. Â Instead of just talking on the phone, watch a TV show or movie simultaneously. Â Call it a virtual date.
