Keeping a Relationship Alive Across the Miles

Do you ever try long distance relationship before???? It is so difficult to preserve this love. is no easy task. Those of us who've tried can all attest: IT'S HAAAAAAAAARRRRRRD. Survey showed that 99% of long distance relationship is fail.
Why do long distance relationships fail? Do they have a greater tendency towards failure than “normal” relationships? What are the most common reasons for failure, and what can you do about it?

I’ve read a statistic somewhere a while back that states that long distance relationships actually have a better success rate than normal relationships.
If you and your partner decide to enter a long distance relationship, it means you’re definitely considering having a long term relationship – otherwise you would have just broken up, wouldn’t you?

Still, long distance relationships do sometimes fail. The most common reasons I’ve found are the following:
1. Blaming the distance when there are other problems

2. no long time perspective

Blaming the distance
What do I mean by “blaming the distance”? Well all couples have trouble in their relationships from time to time. It’s completely normal, and if handled correctly, will lead to growth in the relationship.

The problem comes when couples say things like: “We’re fighting all the time because we’re so far apart”, or “It’s just so hard to trust each other when you’re apart”.
for the example, If you can’t trust your partner when you’re apart, you might be also can’t trust your partner when you are together. If you’re afraid your partner will cheat on you just because you’re apart, it means that you don’t have a strong relationship. Distance is not the culprit here. All is not lost yet. You can still work on strengthening your relationship even if you’re apart.

No long time perspective
How many times do you hear people complaining on forums that it will be two years (or three years, or eleven months…) before they will be together again and they don’t think they can handle it?
Consider your time here as an investment. You’re investing two years of your life in order for you to be with the person of your dreams for the rest of your life. I’m assuming again that you actually have a long time plan in your relationship. Let’s say you’re apart for two years, and you’ll be together for at least another 50 years after that. It’s a 25 times return on investment.

If you can preserve this long distance relationship, both of you will be very treasure with your relation.Distance also not be a problem for yours. So, i'm sure that your relationship will be last forever.......^_^
