Simple ways to make a long-distance relationship work
Being apart is definitely trying at times, even for couples with a relatively strong foundation. How do you get through it?
No one’s ever said that long-distance relationships are easy, but the distance doesn’t have to ruin your relationship either. With the right commitment and communication, long-distance relationships can actually be more stable than geographically close relationships. Simple adjustments to your attitude and lifestyle can help you keep your loved one in your life.
During college, my now-husband went to school year round in Utah while I stayed behind and finished up high school and then attended a local college. Even though we were young, we knew our relationship was the one worth fighting for so we were determined to get through those years.

Personal values include beliefs like staying faithful is part of my identity. Social pressures involve the perception of society’s approval or disapproval.
