Keeping the fire burning in a long-distance relationship can be a hard nut to crack for couples.
Not many people can last in a long-distance relationship because of the lack of physical contact.
Such relationships can sink because of mistrust issues, infidelity, jealousy, miscommunication, among other challenges.
But couples can make a long-distance relationship work.
Here are some ways to keep the fire burning;
1. Use technology to connect.
Technological advances in communication has made connecting with people who are geographically apart easy.
Make that phone call or video call a routine.
Video calls provide more interaction giving you the imagination of a face to face communication.
2. Do some stuff together
Even with a distance between you, there are a number of things you can do together.
You can start reading the same book or watch the same movie together.
You can do this simultaneously while connecting on Skype.
3. Send each other gifts
Gifting is a good way to keep the fire burning in a long-distance relationship.
You can package a bottle of wine and chocolates to send to your partner just to assure them that they are in your thoughts.
4. Have a schedule
Have an agreement on when to visit each other and stick to it.
Do not stay long before seeing each other.
When one finds some time off work, they can make travel plans even if it wasn't in the schedule.
5. Trust
A long-distance relationship should be built on utmost trust.
6. Have goals.
Set your goals as a couple. The desire to achieve these goals together will ensure you are in agreement most of the time.
