Time and distance can destroy the foundations of strong relationships

It isn’t true, that all long distance relationships are bound to fail. There are exceptions, of course. But generally, lovers separated by miles of oceans and months of time find it very difficult to establish a strong foundation for their relationships. You may be capable of paying all your phone and e-mail bills and talk for as often and as long as you want but still, nothing compares to the warmth of being together and doing and sharing things together. One warm hug couldnt be replaced by hours of conversation, cards or even expensive gifts.
Communication is the lifeblood of a relationship but presence is as important as this vital link. For as long as you keep your lines open where you can share your thoughts and feelings for each other, then I think your relationship will be fine. But remember, you cannot stay this way forever. One day, either of you would have to make a move and find a way to bridge your gap and be together.
Marriage is the fastest option but, you’re right, you have to give yourselves a little more time before plunging in to something as serious as this.
Time and distance can destroy the foundations of strong relationships but when you don’t have any other choice then its your love and faithfulness that will take over.
Looking forward to being with someone we really love gives us the strength to live each day as it passes. Our faith and trust in each other will shield us against forces that will try to destroy our relationships. And most of all, our love, if sincere and unselfish, will see us through during the most trying times of our lives. And in the end, we would walk hand in hand with that person towards the promise of a beautiful forever.
