Distance increases emotional closeness

Intercity couples feel closer to each other, in part because this type of couple talks more about themselves throughout the day. Also, a group of research psychologists found that long-distance couples have a low level of "problematic" communication, including that they show much less "psychological aggression towards their partner."

In long-distance relationships, couples idealize each other and the behavior of their partners

After all, it's a lot easier to imagine your boyfriend as a knight when you don't have to look at his dirty underwear or see him talking with food in his teeth.

Couples are happier if they know that this distance is temporary

When long-distance partners are sure that they will soon be near their loved ones, they are more satisfied and less worried.

Some people want a long distance relationship

In the same study, some participants reported that they knew they were going to get together with their partners soon, but were not satisfied with the outcome. Others felt uncertain about their future with their partners. This shows that there are plenty of people who may prefer to stay in a long-distance relationship forever, and some people may specifically actively seek out a long-distance relationship in order to perfectly combine romanticism and their independence.
