You must be honest with each other and wholeheartedly agreed to maintain your relationship regardless of distance. You will also understand that it will take a clear cut schedule to share thoughts and conversations on a regular schedule.

Most people in a long distance relationships are separated because of work, school, military or incarceration. This is no reason why a committed relationship should have problems. But many do such as finance and loneliness especially in the case of incarceration when a couple was not sufficiently prepared. Being apart can serve a great purpose and that is to satisfy the reason why you are separated in the first place. No matter why you are apart, there is a reason and it must be done.
