Art of long distance relationships

Love in a specific sense, the love for the opposite sex, is too complicated that no enough description can truly explain it. Unlike a game, the relationship has no rules, only mutual understanding and commitment. Sometimes, commitment is not even there at all. When there is no commitment, you can be jealous and get hurt but you do not have the right to be angry. When the other person chooses to leave, you can wait or forget. However, if there is commitment, even when the feeling of love is gone and still you cling to that single piece of commitment for the relationship to survive, there is a greater chance of reviving the feelings and making it work again. If the other person is far from you, you have to wait because you trust that person...wait for the time to come and God will make it happen. Feelings may come and go but true love remains.


Not everyone believes in long distance relationship for it is indeed difficult to keep the lines open. Communication is very important in whatever relationship. Many believe that seeing each other and being together most of the times can help both of you know more about yourselves. You will discover more good and bad things about the other person, your compatibilities and differences. Still it is not an excuse for a long distance relationship not to work.


When you are far from each other, you will learn to trust and be faithful. Most of all, you will learn to wait and be patient. It may be very difficult and challenging but there is nothing easy in this world, all of us will encounter the tough and sad times. As they say, the roots may be bitter but the fruits will be truly sweet and fulfilling.


The test of love does not come when you are together, it comes when you are apart. You will realize that despite the distance, love still survives.
