Long distance relationships can flop easily if not paid keen attention to. Unlike short distance relationship where maybe the couples live in the same town or district, long distance relationships mean the couples will take a considerably longer period of time before seeing each other.

This kind of relationship requires more than just I love you, it requires commitment, dedication and ground rules to not only keep the relationship going but alive. The following are some of the tips to a healthy, lively and alive long distance relationship.

a) Communication

There is an adage that goes that once you are out of sight you are definitely out of mind. This is true, we tend to keep images of what we see longer than what we do not see. Frequent communication is the only limitation to this saying. Staying up to date in your communication with your partner means bringing them closure to where you are. Sharing pictures through social media, posts and telephone calls not only makes your partner closure but also holds your love bond together making them look forward to your next meeting. Your communication should though not be excessive as it might seem nagging
