Long Distance Relationships can they work?

I personally believe long distance relationship can work, with a lot of hard work and trust.  When I say long distance I am talking about from one country to another.  If you know that you are both committed to each other and you are planning for a future together, then you are on the right track.  Let me explain a bit more about what I am talking about.  If you meet someone and you are having a relationship together wether you meet in the same country or online, where ever.  If you both decide that, that is what you both want then it can work.  If you are both committed to traveling to see each other in opposite countries and you do it, then it can work.  What you will find is that over time one of you will make the right decision as to who is moving where, as one of you have to move somewhere for you both to continue your lives together.  Don't think for one moment that one of you wont be moving.

Long distance relationships can work just remember one of you will be moving eventually.  If you think you can have this relationship just on cam, over the phone, email, texting etc, then you are wrong.  One of you will be moving if you want to be together.  If you see that neither one of you are going to make that move, then this is when naturally the relationship is not going to work.  Again, this will take time.  If it happens within the first year then great, if not don't worry, it doesn't mean it wont happen. Some things take longer with some people, due to commitments.  Ie: education,  family work. As long as you make it your priority to travel every now and then to see each other.

If you find someone who you get on with and they live hundreds and thousands of miles away from you, there is no harm is starting your life together in another country.  Who said the love of your life is in the country you live in?  Its a big wide world out there for any successful relationship.

Relationships can work anywhere for anyone, as long as you want it and you work at it. Just remember anything in life worth having does not come easy.

Work on your relationship together.

Your write-up seems to complement mine which I titled "Coping with distant marriage". I posted it on Saturday last week on site - www.marriage-forever.com. Just as I enjoyed your write-up, I trust you can read mine and react to it. Please keep up the good work you are doing. My name is UDUAKOBONG SUNDAY
