Relationships are hard work and it is important to make one’s significant other feel loved and appreciated often. Meaningful gifts have a way of strengthening the bond you share with your partner. Long distance relationships are a whole different ball game. The distance could work in your favor and make you emotionally close or end up making you feel lonely.
Stay connected despite the distance
People in long distance relationships can schedule phone/video calls so that they stay emotionally connected no matter how busy they are. Make a pledge to stick to the schedule. It is a sign that you are committed towards the relationship. On weekends you can indulge in activities together that don’t require you both to be in the same place.
You can try catching up a movie on streaming platforms and keep texting each other along the way or playing online games. Insecurity plays havoc in any relationship. Let your partner spend time with other new friends. This wouldn’t make you grow apart. Instead it would give you new stuff to talk about during your calls. Send them gifts on special days.
