1. The Relationship Stays Interesting
Truth be told, when you are in a long distance relationship, it stays interesting. There is always something to talk about, something to marvel at and something to bring up. This is absolutely one of the reasons why long distance relationships work and why they are great. How often do you talk to your boyfriend when you live with him? How often do you talk to your boyfriend if he lives in another state? Think about it!
2. You Still Have Your Freedom
One of the biggest reasons why long distance relationships work is because you still have your freedom, he still has his freedom. If he wants to go hang out with his friends, he can! If you want to hang out with your friends, you can! While relationships that are not long distance have a certain sense of freedom, when you are long distance, you don’t have to constantly include your boyfriend, which can be refreshing!
3. You Value Your Time with Him
What about the time that you do spend with your boyfriend? It’s time well-spent right? It’s time that you actually appreciate and that you value. This is absolutely one of the best reasons why long distance relationships work and why I think they are great. You don’t get sick of him because you get such little time with him!
4. You Don't Take Him for Granted
Another great reason why long distance relationships work is because you don’t take anything that your boyfriend is saying for granted! You also don’t take him for granted, which you can often do when you are in the same state and not long distance. How often do you lean on your boyfriend for small little things? What if he wasn’t there to do those small things?
If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.
5. The Emotional Support Becomes More Important
The thing about being in a long distance relationship is that both of you become more supportive. What that means is that you both lean on one another, emotionally and it’s great! Both of you depend on each other for things that you might not depend on each other for if you weren’t long distance.

6. You Communicate More
Remember up there when I said that you actually talk more? It’s a known fact that you communicate so much more when you are in a long distance relationship versus when you are in a relationship that is in the same state. The reason being is because you still want to feel that same connection. This is absolutely one of the reasons why long distance relationships work.
7. It Strengthens Your Relationship
Finally girls, the last reason why long distance relationships work is because it just plain strengthens the relationship completely and as a whole. It is something that can bring you so close together and can draw you closer as partners.
While I am not saying that long distance is the only way to go, it is a stepping stone. If your relationship can outlast a long distance relationship, you are going to make it! So girls, what other reasons why long distance relationships work can you think of? Do you have any other reasons why long distance relationships work to share?

Starleisha: Brilliant!! This is so well said. My boyfriend and I met this summer while we were in a show. We both knew that I would be moving home, but thank GOD my parents own a house in the same town as him. It's hard work being in a LDR, but it's so worth it, and I relish in the moments we have together!!
Ivana: I have been in a relation for almost a year and he is on college for past 2 months and I'm home. I didn't know it was this much work and it's so hard. I'm not going to give up, but it's really hard. Don't know about everything you mention, but we communicate way lass than when he is home. I know the reasons, time difference, he has too much things on schedule, i do to, etc. I would live if you can do some post on how to improve communication in long distance relationship. Any advice is welcome. On the other side when I'm mad, I have time to chill and say it to him with calm voice (or message). Or I analyze problem and see that it'm my fault and that I've overreacted. Any way very nice post :)).
Jay: We are in a LDR - and it's all about, patience, communicating well and keeping it exciting in every way possible. We had to be open to a new way to have a relationship and a new way to be intimate. Good luck out there for those in a LDR....
Tori: I have been in a long distance relationship for over a year and half now. And let me tell its hard work, if you don't have time to commit almost every day talking to the same person it's not for you. On the up side every time he comes home, it's like having that first date all over again and there's so much love, not many people can say they have. I disagree with the it's never boring thing cause it can be boring honestly but if I sense that, I always start asking him random questions and learn new things about my boyfriend I never knew. Like I said its hard work, but if you can do it, the end result is always never less than amazing.
Hazel: Very positive article of which is also very inspiring... Why? I can relate so much :) im in an ldr too :) everything that is written in here is very true :)
Christina: I'm moving soon and i have been with my boyfriend for 6 months starting tomorrow! And he's moving soon also and he doesn't even think it's going to work and i want him to try! I love him and i know he loves me will this convince him to try??
Mali: Very helpfully... make me feel better after...my fiancé said to me that he need apart ... like 3 week or more than that.. God after I heard that.. .. so hurt .. cried everyday ..
Neko: Well.. I've dated my boyfriend for 1 year and 10 months now almost a year... 1 year we were together the 10 months LDR... The beginning of a few months was great.. Calling and texting... We were in a totally different country in the LDR.. But slowly it turned cold... Texting him but he rarely replies... Calling him and taking to him only takes average 5 minutes now... I donno wat to do to live up this relationship anymore... I do love him a lot... I don't like being apart but circumstances are forcing us to be apart...
