E-MAILKeep Your Communication Lines Open
Experts are not lying when they repeatedly advocate the importance of communication in relationships. In cases where you and your husband are far apart, communicating will likely bridge the gap between the two of you. With the prevalence of technology, it’s now easier than ever to do this. For starters, Skype allows you to see and talk to your husband via video call at no cost as long as you have an Internet connection.
Alternatively, you can also use your cellphone as a way to contact him in case he doesn’t have any connection to the Internet. Various local telecoms now have cheap prepaid plans that you can use to regularly call overseas.
Practice Trust
A foundation of any good, healthy relationship is trust. If you don’t trust your partner, they will likely resent you later on for not having faith in them. When you trust someone even if they are far away from you, you’re letting them know that you have confidence in their character. This makes people feel appreciated and usually spurs them to act better and positively.
Without trust, no relationship can survive and thrive especially in cases where both persons in the relationship are far apart. To practice trust, steer clear of unwarranted jealousies or accusations if there’s no verifiable cause for it.
Honesty is Still the Best Policy
Being in a long distance relationship entails that you become honest more than ever with your feelings. Honesty will allow you and your partner to connect genuinely even if you’re miles apart. Moreover, being honest allows you and him to solve any issues you may have, which can prevent any present problems you may have from blowing up.
This doesn’t mean that you have to tell virtually everything about yourself or your existence. It just means that you’re honest about the things that are bound to make an impact in your relationship. Honesty is a prerequisite to building trust, which then leads to a better marriage no matter what your circumstances are.
