1. Make the rules and boundaries of relationship known ahead of time before the distance becomes an issue. This means that you & your partner are willing to accept each others' plans, do's and dont's.Both partners need to have the same plan in mind when working with a long distance relationship. You should both agree on what works for you both and what does not. Be sure these rules and boundaries are understood ahead of time so that neither of you gets hurt. Long distance relationships take compromise and both partners need to be willing to give up a few things in order for the relationship to stay strong.

2. Stay in touch with your partner often to make a long distance relationship flourish. Try to talk every day or at least every few days so that you don't grow apart. Talking often will help the long distance relationship feel as if your closer in region than you really are. And, depending on how long the long distance relationship will be until you're in the same area together again, you may find that talking often makes the time go by quicker until your with each other more permanently.

3. Make it a point to spend time with your partner as often as you can, even though the distance might make it difficult. Plan dates when you can get together with your partner in person and spend time alone. A long distance relationship will have trouble if neither partner sees each other for a long time. You may find that you are not able to deal with the loneliness of being without someone. Sometimes, unfortunately, too much time apart can make the heart wander rather than grow fonder. No matter how you have to make a plan to see each other in the long distance relationship, even if for a day, try to schedule a way to do it. Both partners can compromise so that travel is not an issue.

4.Use old fashioned means of communication to stay close in a long distance relationship. Text messaging and email are not always enough to make the bonds of a relationship stronger. A computer or phone will never take the place of your long distance partner. It's important that you hear each others' voices, write each other letters, and even send each other pictures (yes, in the mail) to keep the long distance relationship close. Communicating through old fashioned ways can help to make both partners feel as if they don't live so far away from each other.

Keep the romance alive in a long distance relationship. Send each other sweet letters, e-cards, or even sexy picture messages to help keep the passion in a long distance relationship. You could even send a care package to your partner full of loving things that remind him of you such as a shirt of yours sprayed with your perfume, his favorite chocolate candies, homemade cookies you baked, or souveniers of a sentimental moment you both shared together. Do something romantic for your partner often to keep the passion alive in a long distance relationship. Sharing things little things that only the two of you know about will help to make the time apart go faster until you can see each other again.

Here are some intimate moments you can share with your loved ones in a long-distance manner:

1. write letters, or send cards - this is more sweet thing than e-mails and SMS;

2. set-up a weekly on-line date (through web-cam). get dressed and eat together while conversing over the internet;

3. read the same books or tackle a topic of the same interest. this will not only practice your mind intelligently but also make you both more closer and you will grow together intelligently;

4. avoid manipulating or accusing each other. in other words, treat your partner the way you want to be treated;

5. be honest. be faithful, even if your partner cannot see you.
