They say that "Distance makes the heart grow fonder". I never truly understood the meaning of that statement until I experienced it first hand. Believe it or not, ladies and gentlemen, a long distance relationship can be much greater than a close one. How in the world is this possible? I'm about to tell you.
What if you were to run into somebody on your vacation and fall head over heals in Love. He or she tells you that they live in California but you live in New York. One part of you is saying "damn, too far", and the other part is saying "maybe this could work". Here are 5 reasons why you should consider a long distance relationship.
1. Distance will make you appreciate one another more. Since your partner is not in your face every day you're forced to use a little something most people tend to neglect now days, Imagination. Think about all the fun things you will do together when you see each other again. Turn on some romantic music before bed, stare out at the night sky and dream.
2. It's a good thing that trust is no option in this situation. That's one thing you can write off of your list and not have to worry about.
3. Distance from each other will give you more time to work on your career, exercise or spend more time with your family. Think about all the things you could accomplish in a day. I noticed that when I'm in a relationship with a girl that is conveniently near me, my motivation to exercise or weight lift decreases slightly, especially in a bad relationship. Spending time with your family is very healthy for any relationship. It makes you stronger. You are definitely going to need money to travel so this is also a good time to work hard at your career.
4. Planning your next meeting is always exciting. It gives you something to look forward to and a chance to escape from your daily life. If traveling starts to get expensive, work together to find a cheaper means of travel and split the cost from time to time. I like to think of it as an adventure and at the end of the adventure is your wonderful treasure.
5. A long distance relationship can be a lot stronger that a normal one. Getting through a long distance relationship can be very rewarding for both of you. Think about all the courage it takes to trust somebody thousands of miles away and still be positive. Give yourselves a round of applause. You now share a strength that is impenetrable.
