Have you ever been parted from the one you love for a long period of time? Do you live in different states? countries? If you have ever been in a long distance relationship then you know how hard it is to maintain and nourish a healthy relationship with hundreds of miles between you.
I am currently in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend of three years (3 yr anniversary in 2 days!), and although it has only been for a year it has still taken a toll on both of us. There have been times where we didn't know if it was going to work out between us, simply because not being able to have a physical relationship with the person you love or simply not seeing them in person is torture.
Of course technology has helped long distance couples by providing us with tools such as Facetime and Skype, which allow you too see your significant other, but we don't yet have the capabilities to recreate the sensation of touching another person.
My advice for anyone who is in a relationship such as this is to learn more about the way you and your partner give and receive love. In fact there is a free test you can take called the 5 Languages of Love that will let you see how you most easily recognize and reciprocate love. This will help you figure out how to show your partner, in terms and actions they can understand, how much you love and care of them.
Give it a try. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.
