Long distance relationships are not that bad and uncommitted as most people try to paint its picture. I have heard of many long distance relationships become successful. It would actually depend on both sides to stay committed and connected to make it work. It ya sits problems, yes, but commitment and effort is all it needs. Check out 5 ways to boost a long distance relationship.
*Let Technology Be Your Best Pal
Obviously the only way you can communicate or reach out to your partner in a long distance relationship is through the use of technology. Phone calls, FaceTime or video calls, and texts are the modes of communication used. You can have a video call with your partner to see each other either via Skype, WhatsApp or Face Time.
*Do Things Together
You really don’t have to meet them in person before you can do something fun with them. You can both play games online or even watch a movie together through Skype. Both of you would be apart physically but it would actually feel you’re closer to them than you actually think.
*Be Committed to the Relationship
You must be committed to your relationship and your partner. You must endeavor to make time to chat, video call and do fun activities together. Inconsistency in communication might just dwindle the liveliness of one’s relationship. Making your partner feel you have less time for them would only make things worse. If anything is prohibiting you from staying in touch with them, talk to them and let them know. You don’t expect them to just assume.
*Make fun plans
Endeavor to meet on the weekends, that is if you can make it, and have dinner or maybe a picnic. It could be a cool hangout or even go to the cinema to watch a movie or a play. It could also be a music concert or maybe just to spend some time alone at home. This would provide time for both of you to bond especially when you stay apart.
*Male a schedule
Both of you would obviously have other responsibilities like work and you wouldn’t want to be buzzing your partner’s phone while they’re busy working. So you both need to make a schedule and know exactly when you make phone calls, texts and video calls. This would help a lot.
