MAKING LONG-DISTANCE LOVE LAST
Long-distance relationships
create extra challenges and
stressors. But couples can still
cultivate a fulfilling and happy
relationship. Here’s how.
1. View the distance as an
opportunity. Orbuch encourages
“couples to write down the
advantages of a long-distance
relationship, especially if it is
only short term.” According to
JF mag!
Orbuch, your list might include:
extra time with family and
friends; an opportunity to learn to
communicate even better; the
anticipation and thrill of weekend
trips; maintaining your
individuality; and spending more
time on your own interests, goals
and passions, such as “working
on your next book, your art, your
hobbies and exercising.”
