Long distance relationships (a.k.a. LDRs)
basically describe about couples who are both staying at the end of each side of the world (maybe neighboring countries? just describe it in an exaggerate way tho) based on whatsoever reasons instead of sticking together all days and nights.
It's not easy for LDR couples to retain and 'preserve' their love for each other as there are always temptations throughout the fast moving world.
Especially during the age of smart gadgets occupy majority of the time of our daily life,
there are always pros and cons of such gadgets for LDR couples.
LDRs are beneficial from such gadgets in a fundamental way of shorten the distance of the world while communicating with each other is just as easy as by clicking the social apps in the smart devices.
Nonetheless, such function is also the underlying issue which causing the LDRs mortally wounded in the generation of hook-up culture is just as common as its a daily needs for the citizens on the planet.
Hence, the elements below are needed to be practiced on both parties for no doubt before entering LDRs:
1. Trust
Trust is the fundamental support for LDRs since lesser amount of physical interactions involved between LDR couples. Of course there must be insecurity which affect both parties (such as over-sensitivity, doubtful, suspicious and etc.) in a negative way. However, if a person who deliver insecurity more than love to you in a relationship, once he/she is apart, definitely reconsideration is needed towards your the other half. By all means trust is necessary NOT only in LDRs but all types of relationships.
2. Patience
Patience is needed in a way of willing to listen (to their grouch) and trying to understand their thoughts by viewing certain issues on behalf of your love ones. Patience is not an easy component to be built up (especially in LDRs) between couples as people comes with different types of personalities and behaviors which cause their level of patience towards others may be differ.
3. Respect
As w'all know that personality and behavior of each person is differ from one and other which causing us to have different way of thinking, making decision and etc. At some point we may not understand why such action should be taken by our darling, but the effort of trying to figure out and respecting their choice (as long as it is not illegal or immoral) will help in sustaining and improving the relationship particularly in LDRs.
4. Appreciation
Funny as it may sound, actually being apart from each other makes couples appreciate more at the moment while being together. People tend to view their lovers' appearance as granted and never realize that one day their sweetheart may leave without giving any reason. Thus, LDRs is a big challenge for couples, at the meantime, it is an opportunity for each other to learn and grow through the path of maintaining the relationship.
