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?

John: Girls. your welcome :) (via Twitter)
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!!
Tori: Lol he actually goes to school in Daytona, Florida but yeah I Skype with him all the time. We even have little dates. Every now and then we write letter to each other too. Or I'll send him cookies and he'll send me flowers. :)
Chantelle: I have been in a long distance relationship for 3 1/2 years! I know, shocking right!? We met and became best friends first, and after getting to know each other, we realized how interested we were in one another. Yes, at times it can be challenging to live far away, but every single reason that you mentioned on this page is TRUE! We get to see each other at least 4 times a year and we're hoping to move closer to one another next year which will be very different, but we're both looking forward to it =) To all the ladies who think long distance is impossible, it's not! It truly does strengthen your relationship and it is incredibly rewarding.
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 :)
Haley: hi:) my crush and i live about 9 hours of driving distance away from one another and are planning on meeting each other over the summer! he is the greatest person one could ever dream of and is as sweet as sugar. we too skype for at least 5 hours everyday after school and text between during school! we are 2 peas in a pod and have soo many things in common it's crazy! i also send him my famous cookies especially for his homecoming game; I sent and decorated cute football cookies! we are planning on sending xmas gifts and birthday gifts! he truly is an amazing guy and I couldn't be luckier to find him! trouble is, since we are so far, not really, he does not think we should long distance date but still flirts with me and calls me his boo bear! :) though we are not dating officially, I think we both know we kinda are deep down. in the summer, I'm looking forward to seeing him and holding hands and snuggling with him! he's a keeper! :))
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...
Ina: I've been doing LDR for more than a year. We live in different country. We see each other every two months. It was ok and fun for the first six months.. problems came up after. My BF found it hard. He used to be in a close relationship for 5 years before. While we're far away sometimes makes him misses his old relationship. It hurts me becoz it shouldn't happen as we know from the start this would be LDR. I dunno what should do. It just hurts me soo everytime he said he misses his old relationship. He wants me to move with him but its impossible right now. :(
