A long distance relationship can be identified by the distance which separates the couple. High school sweethearts that move off to college, overseas military deployments, and even Internet dating share the same common denominator of separation prohibiting regular interaction between the couple. The marriage, when the one must go abroad due to the higher education or accomplishing the job, so they should live apart. Then, being apart physically makes a marriage even more challenging. So, the key, as it is in all relationships, is communication. Keep the lines of communication open on a daily basis.
By this communication, so the satisfaction of the long distance relationship will be maintained.
Of course, the type of communication is the mediated communication, such as letter, short messaging system, phone call, email, chatting, etc. By this way, the couple will always stay close, either physically they are apart. In this mediated communication, so the couple also should make a schedule in order that the communication can be effective. This because if they are too often call each other, this will make worst and make the partner can do their activities well. Beside that less-frequent communication will not only keep the couple from growing dependent on each other, but also will provide both with the freedom to grow independently and have their own lives and hobbies. By doing this, the couple will have more exciting updates to share and they will be much more excited and enthusiastic to talk to each other because they been anticipating that phone date all week
The other that also should be considered is that in this mediated communication the couple can't read one another's non-verbal communication, so they can use symbols or words or happy faces to describe their thoughts better.
Then........when they are back together, they should not rush into getting things done around the house right away. Allow the returning spouse to have some time to adjust to being back home. When they are together, meet each other, so in the long distance relationships, this moment will be the precise moment, in which they can feel how great to live with the partners. Doing activities together will make them so satisfy and enjoy their relationships.
And the most important then, is the commitment. Being committed to one another and truly believing that they believe in the marriage commitment is vital. A long distance marriage will fail if there is a lack of trust between the partners.
