Are you in love? A big congratulation is in order! If you’re in a serious relationship with someone you’ve met online, or if you are engaged or married and you spend a lot of time apart, you probably feel disconnected sometimes.

And because of that, you probably want to know how to spice up a long-distance relationship and what you can do to keep the romance alive.

honestly, I know how hard it is trying to figure out how to make your relationship last over long-distance. Because the less frequently you see each other, the harder it is to keep the romance alive!

And believe me, if you aren’t a ‘plan ahead’ kind of person, it’s even harder to ensure that your lover or spouse knows you are thinking about them. And it’s this disconnected feeling that can lead to all sorts of relationship problems in the future.

Not to worry.

Because with a little creativity and the resources provided by the information highway, you can still keep in touch and remind your partner that you are a ‘couple’, even if you don’t get to spend a lot of time together.

So to help you spice up your relationship and keep the romance alive over the distance, here are a few romantic ways you can use your computer to keep in touch:

Agree on a time you will both be online and IM or open a chat with your partner, sending romantic pictures or love notes.

Have a friend take pictures of you, or take a ‘timed’ picture of yourself. An inexpensive digital camera is a great tool for exchanging photos online.
You can take a picture of yourself at work, at play, or in locations you both love and write silly or romantic captions.

Send online cards with romantic messages.
Send a sound file with a copy of a song you both love or a romantic song you want your partner to hear.
Send a letter every day with your thoughts from the day and the places or times you thought about your spouse or partner.
Send links to websites with beautiful pictures or love poems or quotes about love so your partner can enjoy them.
Send your partner a set of specific questions for couples every day that will help you both to grow deeply in love as you learn more and more about each other.
These are just a few romance ideas that can help you spice up a long-distance relationship. Don’t be afraid to try out new things if you feel that your relationship is worth fighting for, because at the end of day, we always get out of a relationship exactly what we put in.
