Long-distance relationships are complex, and that’s a given. But even with technology becoming more advanced by the day, making them work is difficult. What do you do when the miles between you seem impossible to navigate? These tips help you survive the distance. 

1

Have Common Goals

You need to have a unified set of items to cross off your list that you are both equally excited about.

2

Communication Is Key but Not Every Minute

Overdoing communication can feel forced. You both can take some downtime or have off days without feeling guilty. 

3

Celebrate Milestones

Be innovative and enjoy those special moments together virtually if it cannot be physically.

You write mails, text, and call when you say you will…

Dressing up for a virtual date is…

You and your partner have been together…

Making a spontaneous travel plan to visit your partner is…

Technology and you…

You and your partner share the same relationship goals.

Date night dressing up is fine, but are you ready to let your partner see you looking less than perfect?

From sending surprise packages to scheduling date nights, do you…

Do you feel the need to stalk your partner's every move on Instagram obsessively?

When it comes to being on the same page about your future together, you and your partner…

You are practical, level-headed, and, best of all, committed to making your relationship work. You aren’t letting your fantastic partner get away, and the miles seem to melt away when you think of them, right? You know it will all be worth it in the end.

You might like your partner, but are you sure you’re ready to deal with long-distance? This would mean not being complacent and putting in the effort and time to make it work. If it’s not something you're ready to deal with, talk to your partner to see what works best for you both – trying to make a go of it or putting it on hold till you both are in the same city again.

Be Focussed On Your Partner When You Have Time Together

Your time together is key, so treat it properly by being completely present and focussed on your partner.

5

Surprise Them

Apart from a well-orchestrated visit, surprise packages are always a good idea to surprise your partner with.

6

Your Dates Are Real

Just because your dates are virtual rather than in person doesn't make them less important or ones that can be rescheduled.
