Can Long Distance Relationship Work For You?
If you really like or love somebody and you’re oceans apart then it’s not a matter of question. It’s a matter of strategy and a strong sense of desire, to turn the question into an expression that “I’m willing to work for my relationship”. Distance is not a consideration because love transcends all boundaries, including time and space.
How can I say this with the utmost certainty? I’m very certain because I made it work. I have been in a LDR (long distance relationship) for almost 2yrs before my girlfriend (now wife) crossed oceans for us to be together.
If you’re in a long distance relationship, congratulations because you can make it work too.
Distance is not a matter for consideration if you decide to form a relationship; where you have to board a plane, or a boat, in order to go out on a date. After all, even a relationship with the girl next door can fail, can’t it? I know a guy who went out with a girl who lived across the street, and that ‘short distance’ relationship did not last long. You see, distance is not a factor here.
What Things Do You Need to Consider for a Successful Long Distance Relationship?
Most couples think of what they can do. They consider all the known facts. Some might do some research and do a risk assessment and feasibility studies [and as much as I like research and stats… NO, I’m not one of those people]
They consider all the known fact and elements, and then decide. They look at risk first, like “what if this does NOT work?”. A committed couple DECIDES first to be a couple and then formulates all the elements to work in their favour. They ask the question, “what if it DOES work?”. Two different collective mindsets where one is more resourceful than the other.
More Importantly – the Bigger Picture
Above the committed couple is the enlightened couple. While a committed couple is resourceful, an enlightened couple is resourceful as well as inspired. An enlightened couple knows their purpose. their why.
This Blog is very big on purpose – the WHY. We centre all strategies around that biggest question of all, WHY.
When a couple knows why they are entering into a relationship, either an LDR or conventional relationship, each partner of that relationship knows how the relationship experience is going to be like and what things to consider.
This works on the premise – to know your outcome.
Big Hint to You if you’re considering doing LDR
While this Blog is big on knowing your WHY, the other big theme is the key to any and all relationships: satisfying one’s six core needs (check out other post with the tag “Six Core Needs” to find out more)
- If you meet 1 or 2 core needs of someone, you’ll form a connection with them.
- If you meet 3 or 4 core needs of someone, you’ll form a strong bond with them.
- If you meet ALL six core needs then that person will never want to leave you
