Do you live far away from your partner or is your partner about to move away for a while? Are you feeling worried about trying a long distance relationship for the first time? It may be that you are feeling nervous and unsure of what might happen if you try a long distance relationship. Some claim that long distance relationships help to improve a relationship and make it stronger. Keep reading to discover how to make a long distance relationship work.

I am going to talk about how you can make a long distance relationship work with 5 long distance relationship tips that should be able to help you. First of all, let’s take a quick look at the benefits of a long distance relationship.

Benefits Of A Long Distance Relationship

There are many benefits of being in a long distance relationship and once you have learned how to make a long distance relationship work you should find that there is a lot to enjoy and appreciate about the relationship.

These will most likely include:

  • Both partners will be as committed as the other. This should prove to you that you have found a great partner.
  • You will learn to be more independent, whilst still being in a relationship, which is something that others who see their partner daily may not have learned.
  • You don’t always have to have good days. Plus, you won’t be able to see your partner every day, so if you are having a bad day you won’t have to feel too bad for not seeing them.
  • You should get more and more excited to see each other after some time apart and should cherish each other even more.

How To Make A Long Distance Relationship Work

Now that you know some of the benefits, hopefully, you will be feeling more willing to work on maintaining a long distance relationship. Of course, like any relationship, there are always going to be some ups and downs and you may find things quite hard at first but if you can work on it you should find that it will get easier.

Now let’s talk about how to make a long distance relationship work with this relationship advice.

Sometimes people can think that as they are away from each other a lot of the time, they feel that they should be in constant contact with each other.

This is not always the case; if you think about when you are living with your partner, you are not always in contact with them. You may be at work all day, or out with friends, so you will not be in contact with your partner, and that’s OK.

Try not to become too overbearing and constantly try and get in touch with your partner. Communicate naturally, just like you normally would, and don’t worry about constantly being in contact as it just does not happen, and that is normal in any relationship.

2. Have A Goal In Mind

It is always good to be on the same page as your partner and to have similar goals and dreams about your future together. Try and plan your life and future together, as well as an end goal and date of when you will settle down together (as most people tend to settle down eventually).

This should excite you and motivate you to make the relationship work, as you will have something to look forward to at the end, and a date to work towards. You will also be learning more about your partner and their goals, which is a plus. Focus on your future together, not the time that you are spending away from them.

3. Learn More About How You Both Approach Conflict

People can react to conflict in different ways, and it can be a lot harder when you are in a long distance relationship to work on conflict.

For instance, things can be taken the wrong way over text and you can’t talk face to face. Discuss with your partner how you react to conflict, and what you can both do when that time does come. Know how your partner reacts to conflict too and work on this together. This way, when you do have fight or argument it will be that little bit easier to work through, even if you aren’t together in person.

4. Discuss Your Big Disagreements In Person

There can be nothing worse than arguing with someone via text message. Things can be taken out of context, you may not understand what the other person is trying to say etc, or maybe they are not available to talk and sort things out.

So, wait to discuss these when you are with your partner, not while you are away from each other.

When you are face to face, it should make disagreements easier to overcome. You can speak to your partner without the added frustrations like texting, emailing or if your partner can’t talk when you would like to. Plus, it avoids unneeded miscommunications as body language and facial expressions add a whole new level to conversations.

5. Keep Things As Normal As Possible

Even though you are not with each other all of the time, things can still be as normal as possible.

Try and talk to your partner about the little things, they may seem trivial at the time, but this is normal day to day conversation. Doing this helps you feel closer to your partner, and making the relationship seem more normal.

Work out the best way that you can both communicate; does your partner prefer video chat, emailing or maybe just a phone call? Whatever works best for you both, do this and keep things normal while you are apart, even if this is just a text to see how their day has been.
