A long-distance relationship can be hard. It becomes even harder when instead of playing Cupid, the distance becomes the devil. There are many things that a long-distance couple deals with. From managing time to being a support system despite the distance, it takes a lot to make a distant relationship work. Many couples though manage to sail through smoothly. Let’s decode some of the secrets that make a long-distance lasting and beautiful.
Check up on your partner regularly
You two are living a different life in two different cities. Sometimes, it becomes difficult to manage the time according to your partner’s needs. But that doesn’t mean, you just leave them hanging. Make them feel cared for and loved by regularly checking on them. Call them in the morning and before going to bed, try to make it a ritual. In case you miss their call due to some urgent work, then at least text them to know that you’ll call back.
Plan in-call dates
Who says dates can’t be virtual? If you can’t eat together at the same table, at least you can eat together on a video call. Once in a while, just take out some quality time for each other and have dinner or lunch while communicating for hours. It will make the distance looks less and love more.
Communicate if you feel disconnected
Work and other things can take a dig at your relationship. If you are feeling something, just tell your partner. Keeping things to yourself makes you disconnect from your partner. It leads to misunderstandings and insecurities between two people. Tell them what you feel no matter how hard that is because if you two love each other, you will find a way.
Visit each other
Professional life is important but not at the cost of a disrupted personal life. Take out time from your busy schedule, take the next flight and appear at your partner’s door. These few moments of togetherness give millions of memories to survive the coming months. If you are stuck in the city due to some reason, then your partner in.
Send gifts
Everyone likes to feel special. We generally wait for special days to make our partners feel special. We should do it more often. Once in a while, send impromptu gifts for them. It need not be something expensive but a little gesture that will remind them of you. It can be anything from chocolates to any other food item they have been craving for a long time, a dress that they wanted to buy, a bouquet of flowers and so on. Always remember to send a sweet little note with it.
