Find trust in yourself and your partner
Believe in yourself and your partner
Compromise
Share

Now i will include a small paragraph relating to each of these tips i have listed above for your reading and future reference if you so need to ever put these tips to use.

Advice for Tip One - Communication
Long distance relationships can be hard at the best of times. To alleviate some of the 'missing you' feelings, communicate with your partner as often as you can. This can be via the telephone, email or even letter writing, and not forgetting text messages. Any form of communication to keep in touch is acceptable. A simple text message letting your partner know you are thinking of them can make all of the difference. You will learn to open up and talk about how you are feeling. There is no point in bottling things up as it will not help any relationship, yet alone one from a distance.

Advice for Tip Two - Be Honest
Always be honest with yourself and your partner about how you are feeling. Never make your partner think there is more going on than there actually is. There are too many factors that are attached to long distance relationships that may cause anger at the end of a relationship if it does not work.

Advice for Tip Three - Trust in Yourself and Your Partner
A long distance relationship has no chance of surviving if there is no trust between you both. We all know that within any relationship, trust is of utmost importance for it to work, well the same is for long distance relationships, yet could hold more meaning, given the amount of time one is away from the other. If you have complete trust, you will eliminate stress at the same time surrounding issues that can surround any relationship.

Advice for Tip Four - Believe in Yourself and Your Partner
If you hold belief in yourself and your partner, you can make a long distance relationship work very successfully. If you hold self doubt to begin with that you can make it work, it simply will either not work, or be harder. This can cause added stress to your long distance relationship. And we all know what stress can do to a relationship.

Advice for Tip Five - Compromise
Long distance relationships rely on compromise. You both have to come together as one and compromise relating to things such as travel. And let us face it, when you get involved in a long distance relationship, you have to be prepared to travel. Both of you need to share the travel responsibility. But then in saying that, any relationship should be balanced and hold a 50/50 ratio in all aspects.

Advice for Tip Six - Share
Simply this means - share yourself, share your feelings, share what you have been doing. Keep the long distance relationship as close to a 'normal' relationship as possible. Share your wants, share your desires, share what anyone else would in a relationship where distance was not an underlying issue.

Obviously from reading all the tips i have included you can see, there is really nothing that hard about making a long distance relationship work and be successful. Try putting these tips into aciton and see how you go. Never walk away from a long distance relationship unless you have used these tips and others on offer, you may regret it one day further down the track.

So when all is said and done, a long distance relationship has the same ability of working out and being long lasting, as a relationship does where there is no long distance issue involved. Simply - if you love the one you are with, long distance does not make a difference, it can often make one realise just how much the other means to them and how happy your truly are. Long distance relationships can bring people together forever and often do. So if you are concerned about approaching a long distance relationship - take my advice and give it a go. If you walk away from a person simply because there is some distance involved, you may be walking away from the best thing that ever could have happened in your life. Would you like to think that you walked away from your something wonderful? I for one was not prepared to do that! I suggest you don't do it either!
