5 Reasons why Long-distance will make your Relationship Stronger

Alot of studies have showed that long-distance relationships are probably the toughest kind of relationships, the ones that actually require you to give in every single thing you’ve got, the ones that can turn you into the one of the most frustrated people on the planet and the ones that can actually make you start questioning your sanity at times where you just can’t begin to understand why you ever agreed to put yourself though this.

But at the end of the day, when all is said and done, when all your heart and soul has been put into this one part of your life, you will know and be proud of the fact that your relationship has come out a lot stronger and has become more resilient than an average relationship could ever be.

Here are 5 reasons why:

1. Trust is an essential part of your relationship from the very start

You’re living miles away. You can’t even meet each other every week, let alone every day. The only access you have to their everyday life is what and how much they will tell you about it. And they are the only source that can explain and help you understand their relationships with all the different people in their life.

So the moment you agree to being in a long-distance relationship with them, you are essentially agreeing to trust them about every single aspect of their life, to trust that they’ll always tell you the complete and honest truth and to put your faith in the fact that this person you’re willing to do so much for won’t cheat or hurt you, even when you’re not there to keep a check on them.

2. You learn to appreciate your partner more

It really, really sucks to live so far away. You will have some horrible days when the only thing you feel like doing is to run away from this life of yours and just go hide yourself in their arms. You’ll be willing to do just about anything only to see them once, to feel the warmth of their skin against yours for just a single moment.

And this is exactly the reason why when you’ll finally get this one person that you had desired for so long, when you’ll finally get to hug them tight and spend your entire day with them doing the most random stuff, you’ll learn to appreciate all of it even more. You’ll value each and every minute that you have together and there will rarely come a point in your relationship where you’ll start taking things for granted.

3. You get to have more actual conversations

When you’re in a long distance relationship, the only way to take your relationship further, to actually get to know your partner better and to maintain a constant connection with them is through technology where the most you can do is to sit from across a screen just to look at their face and talk to them for as much time as you possibly can.

So the greater part of your relationship’s strength will actually rely on the conversations you share, not on the amount of physical intimacy that you can enjoy together. And while you talk endlessly on the phone for hours, you’ll see the topics range from how your day was to what your deepest fears have been. In between all the meaningful conversations you’ll share, you’ll come to realize that there is so much more to your relationship than just physical attraction.

4. It’s a chance to test the foundation of your relationship

In those long days, weeks and even months of waiting just to meet each other again, one thing will definitely become very clear- whether this actually is ‘it’, whether this person that you’re going crazy about really is worth it. When you are apart for so long, you get the opportunity to reflect rationally upon your relationship without getting swayed by how incredibly sexy your partner looks or how your heart starts beating so much faster the minute they even hold your hand.

A lot of things come into perspective and you have a strong realization of what your relationship is really based upon.

5. You know if your love can last this long distance, it can last almost anything in the world

Not every person in the world can handle the complications and stress of being in a long distance relationship. And if you’re one of those few people who have been managing to take it further for so long, if you still love your partner as much as the very first day even while staying apart for such long periods, then there’s no problem in this world that you two can’t solve together!
