Relationship Rescue 101

Surviving a long distance relationship is much harder than if you live close to your partner. This is probably something you already know, but if you need a few long distance relationship tips, we hope this will help. If you are having problems, then the first thing you need to do is make sure that you both want to survive the miles. If the answer is “yes”, then start working at it now. I know this, because I’ve been there and it’s damn hard!

The single most important thing in any relationship is good communication, for long distance couples, this is even more essential. However, it’s also more difficult. If you see someone face-to-face you can read their moods and expressions, but you don’t have this over the phone. If you relationship has started to falter, then you need some specific long distance relationship advice.

Begin by capturing the feelings and emotions you had when you first met. Remember how often you phoned, texted or emailed about silly things as well as the important parts of life. I’m guessing it was probably every ½ hour or so and even in the night! It’s so amazing what a short message that says “I love you” means – so never forget to say it. Your partner may be in the lift, in a meeting or in the bath, but wherever they are, it will make them smile.

The importance of keeping in touch cannot be stressed enough. Make your conversations funny, practical or whatever, but always remember to listen to what is being said. If you keep tuned in, you’ll be able to pick up any potential problems and get to know when your partner is low and needs support. Sometimes, you’ll just have to shut up and listen!

You could perhaps plan a surprise visit, a clandestine lunch tryst, an overnight stay, whatever it is the excitement and expectation will get those butterflies back in your tummy that you once had.

Whatever you do, don’t cheat unless it is perfectly clear to both of you that you can date while the other is away. Never make assumptions as someone will always tell on you and that may be the end of the relationship.

Surviving a long distance relationship takes so much more effort than a normal one. Be open and honestly with your partner, get as much long term relationship advice as you can find. Then, through commitment you can, and will, make it work.
