1. Discuss everything beforehand. ⌚️

If you are going to be separated, discuss in advance what is important to both partners. You need to be clear about where your relationship is headed: can you maintain long-distance communication for weeks, months, or years? Is one of the partners ready to change residence and work in the future to be with his or her significant other? Are you close to the idea of an open relationship or are you serious about starting a family? Maybe as a result of the discussion, you will realize that you have different views on what your future will be like together, but these questions will help to avoid misunderstandings. And if you have a clear plan of how your romance will develop, it will be easier to maintain a long-distance relationship.

2. Frequent communication. 💬

The advice may seem trivial only at first glance, but in life things are much more complicated. How often you communicate with each other is influenced by the desire of both partners, the amount of free time, the quality of communication and even the time zones. Despite the obstacles, do your best to connect with each other every day: share news and see how things are going. This will help both of you feel that you are still important in each other's lives and even at a distance find time to talk.

3. Choose different channels of communication. 🎥

If for the first time after the separation it is quite easy to keep in touch by phone or video chat thanks to the enthusiasm of the partners, then after a few months of such mode virtual communication starts to get boring. To prevent this from happening, try to use different communication channels - not just text correspondence, emails, video chats and joint video chats. First, this format will allow you to keep your interest longer, and second, it will be easier for you to choose a way to communicate depending on your workload.

4. Talk about your life. 💞

Share with each other the events that happened during the day, emotions and impressions, funny situations you found yourself in. And ask your partner questions about how their day went. Take an interest in what's happening on the other side of the screen to show the person that you care and are concerned about them.

5. Plan meetings in advance. ✈️

Still, communicating on a smartphone/tablet/home computer or laptop can't replace meeting offline, so take every opportunity to see each other. If there is time and opportunity to meet, you should use it!!! The expectation of that exciting moment when you can finally embrace your loved one will remind about the strength of your feelings!

All these tips will help you avoid unnecessary quarrels! More attention and understanding to each other and both halves will be happy even being many kilometers away from each other! 🌍
