Does distance really affect a relationship or is it simply a way of testing your foundation as a couple?

There are many examples in life today, where one party happens to be in a distant state or country, probably for work purpose or for academic pursuit, and this does not in any way threaten the love and emotions they share.

Also, there exist instances where the relationship come to an abrupt end just because of the distance existing between both parties. My question now is, did love ever exist in that relationship? Or did it end as a result of impatience?

How exactly do people love? I am baffled!!

Do we even know the meaning of love?

Love is not perfect, but it sure does stand the test of time and distance. That is what love is.

In love, it is the person, not the idea of being apart that determines how a long-distance relationship survives.

From my own understanding, distance can only bring an end to your relationship when you let it. And this occurs either when the love was never really there, or when impatience comes to play.

Some persons would say they could not continue because they had sexual needs, and did not want to cheat, hence decided to move on by getting a new partner. That’s a big fat lie! Deep within you, you know you would still cheat on him/her even if you happen to be in same country, state and street. So, what exactly is your excuse? Indeed, an attempt to control our emotions at times may be a futile one, but when the love is true, we set priorities straight and find the ability to control ourselves to a considerable extent.

Lack of communication can also bring an end to a relationship, and we go about blaming distance. This is a major challenge long distance relationships encounter. Effective communication has a key role in the survival of long distance relationships. When there is a constant communication between both partners, distance stands no chance against the love they share and in no way, stands as a threat. With effective communication, both partners are forever in each other’s heart regardless of the physical space between them.

Also, when relationship isn’t built on trust, always wondering what your partner is doing. Is he getting close to any girl? Is she checking out any other man? All these are clear signs of insecurities. Long distance relationship tests that trust in a relationship.

In my own opinion, Love is more powerful than distance, hence, distance has no power to bring an end to a relationship firmly built on love.

Hence, I hope you all reconsider your decisions today, remind your partners how much you love them and reassure them that distance has no chance against the love you share. You may be apart in space, but together in heart.

Never end a relationship based on distance, except there is another reason.

Live happily, love freely till the day you both get to be together again.

It is never easy, but make it work!
