Long distance couples arent together in person as often as non-distance couples can be, and lacking that physical component can challenge the relationship sometimes.
But fortunately, long distance couples have ideas to share with each other, and sharing those ideas can help close the gap created by physical distance. Sometimes your ideas may be profound -- like hopes and dreams. Other times, sweet gestures of affection that show you care can can do the trick.
In a long distance relationship? Here are ideas for kind gestures to share with your loved one.
1. Send snail mail. We can communicate faster than ever, often caught up in a blur of emails, texts, and video chats. While all that stuff is great for keeping a relationship live and well, there is something special and personal about receiving a hand-written note. Consider writing one to your significant other and sending it their way.
2. Give them something they can keep with them. You may not be there in person, but you can send over a gift that would be easy to carry. Of course, the ideal gift would depend on your partner. They may like a necklace, or a picture, or maybe even a personalized key chain that expresses how you care. In short, something simple and portable.
3. Suggest a date night. Rather than relying on daily catch-ups, try having a "date night." Share a meal via Skype/FaceTime/etc. Follow it with a movie you watch at the same time. In other words, have a leisurely evening together, even if youre far apart.
4. Surprise them with a visit. Not everyone has the cash to pull this off (or the time, if youre really far away), but if you can pull it off without too much duress, consider a surprise visit. Have an idea of your partners schedule for the weekend before starting your travels, though. You dont want to drop by on a really busy weekend!
Dont let physical space get the best of your long distance relationship. Simple ideas can go a long way in showing you care, which forges an emotional connection that can overcome miles.
