Many people know that long-distance relationships are hard to cope with, but here is something you may not know: being in a long-distance relationship; at least for a season, for example looking for a greener pasture among others, can actually be good for you.
Lisa McKayLisa, a psychologist, award-winning author, and editor of a website that provides advice for couples in long distance relationships, https://www.lifehack.org/author/lisa-mckay , explains the goodies of being in a distance relationship:
1. You make more memorable moments
Your effort will be making that little time memorable, you do everything for your partner until everybody is contented, unlike lovers staying close to each other, who will do things not close to perfection because they know there is always enough time for them
2. You practice being patient
A distance relationship requires couples to wait and wait, by doing so they end up developing a strong sense of being patience; which is virtue
3. You get to know each other very well
Recent research https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/18/long-distance-relationship-benefits_n_3616839.html suggests that long-distance couples talk less frequently than those who live in the same city, but that their interactions tend to be deeper and more meaningful.
4. You are less likely to confuse lust with love
People who live in the same city sometimes confuse lust to love, you love her because she is always dressing in expensive dresses because you saw his bare chest when he was coming from the bathroom you share. Attraction in a long-distance relationship tends to be based primarily on a foundation of emotional intimacy and shared values rather than physical intimacy.
5. You test your trust
Being in a long-distance relationship forces one to recognize and confront some insecurities. You cannot know what he/s will be doing when not with you, leaving you only with trust to forget your imaginations
6.You end up traveling together more
If you like traveling then this kind of relationship suits you better
