Reminder
Communication: It helps a little to at least talk to each other once a day, whether it’s a lot or not, maybe a “Goodnight” text or what not. If this wasn’t a distant relationship then it wouldn’t matter, but the fact that you guys are that far apart, it would help. Talk to each other on Skype, see how you two are doing, experience the change with each other. Be on the same page as each other, and sometimes you just gotta let things go and don’t be stubborn about it.
Trust: The key element, you must trust one another and know that you two will come home to each other when the time comes. If you don’t trust each other, you guys will get into more fights full of doubts, and feelings will be hurt. Fights when you guys are far apart = the worse to get back up from.
Unity: Though you guys are not together, your minds, and hearts must be as one. You both must have similar priorities while being apart (ie: school, work), and realize that sometimes the relationship might not be the center point in your guys’ lives. With that said, it’ll keep you guys busy and make the time go by so much faster. Be understanding, seeing things from both perspectives, “oh he/she’s busy with school and we can’t talk right now, it’s okay” etc.
Effort: You guys are far apart, and seeing each other is impossible, so you guys must work a little harder to make it feel like you guys aren’t that far apart. Dates on Skype, sending each other random things, (mails are the best). Something to keep feeding the fire and make it exciting.
