How to maintain long distance relationship

       1. Give them a personal gift before departing. This is very important in the sense that it will give your partner a remembrance of you even when your presence will not be in his/her side. It will be in different forms like stuff toys, jewelry, pillows, shirts and many more. It doesn't have be expensive as long it have some meaning for your partner.

       2.  Learn about each other's schedule. Different time zones must be understood, it maybe the time for you to be awake and go to work while your partner is sleeping. This phenomenon really affects relationship because of the loneliness and the feeling of missing your partner but you can't do anything about this so you must accept and try to be used to it.

       3.  Make time for communicating with your partner. Both should plan on what time to be free to communicate. Communication is very important in a relationship. "True love knows no distance" as the saying said but to know the feeling of each another communication between your partner must be present to know how is your partner doing and support each other in difficult times. In long distance relationship both of you sometimes work and sleep in different time and both are so tight with your schedule but still you should make time to communicate with your partner.

       4. Focus on quality communication. It's not about how often you talk to each other but the quality of your conversation. Avoid conversation that just ran into circles instead have a meaningful conversation which you can appreciate each other's intellect, ideas and perspectives.

        5. Both should learn how to love unconditionally. Always remember why do you choose your partner and hold on to your relationship for so long. The distance between you and your partner is just temporary you will meet each other again in some point of time whether two of you go apart because you go to different schools or because of a job. Maintaining a relationship is not always one person should sacrifice for the other, it must be done by both. We must learn to accept that people change but remember your love for each other what matters most.
