There umteen amounts of articles and how-tos to make a long distance relationship work. There are step-by-steps and all-too-many suggestions on what to do to instil longevity in relationships.
Here are four suggestions that I found worked in my experience:
- Choice: You make the choice to be with one another despite distance.
- Communication: Phone calls, emails, messages, surprise visits really fill in the gaps in a relationship that distance now fills.
- Free Time / Holidays: Take time out of your schedule and take time to regularly visit one another during weekends and holidays to catch up.
- End Date: Decide when this long distance relationship is gonna end and when you guys will move to the same city, move-in, etc.

Absence is to love as wind is to fire;
It extinguishes the small and kindles the great.
