Okay...so I've never been in a long distance relationship...but if I were...I think these are some great tips. They're logical...they just make sense. Especially the first one about deciding what the rules are up front. It's always better to be PROactive instead of REactive in any relationship.

I don't know how people in LDR's do it...I honestly don't! I give ya'll lots of credit b/c it can be difficult.

Hugs,

Hi Tara,


Having been in LDR's a couple of times, most especially the last time with my now-husband, I don't think it's nearly as simple as this writer seems to think.


"Indeed, couples in LDRs report the same levels of intimacy, trust, commitment and satisfaction as geographically close couples." It's confirmed: Absence really does make the heart grow fonder!"


I just don't believe this; especially about
