Absence makes the heart grow fonder or out of sight - out of mind? This is a common dilemma for those involved in long distance relationship. Here are some useful tips that might help you stay together when you and your partner are separated. The number one rule is to keep communicating. Nowadays there are many ways to show your sweetheart that you care.

Phone calls, instant messaging or old fashioned letters will help you stay involved in each other's lives. Try to tell your partner as much as possible about your everyday life to avoid alienation. Create a 'communication schedule' so that your partner doesn't feel neglected.

The second rule is as important as the first one. Your long-distance dating should be viewed as something temporary. You and your partner should agree on the end goal of your relationship. It is hard to be waiting for something for a long time but it is even harder to be waiting for nothing. Be specific on where and when you will finally be together (move in, get married, etc).

And the last but not the least rule is to show commitment. Jealousy is a real problem for separated couples because it is difficult to stop thinking about the new people your partner meets while you are away. Try to show in every possible way that you are true and faithful to your sweetheart. Do your best to stick to the 'communication schedule'.

Disadvantages of long-distance dating are obvious but there are also some advantages. Couples that are separated try harder to maintain their relationship. It is also true that for some people it is easier to express their feelings in letters, messages, etc. After a long time spent apart living together might seem to be a true blessing.

Long distance relationships require a lot of effort but if you try hard enough you will be rewarded.
