Best Ways To Keep A Spark In A Long-Distance Relationship

Set aside an entire weekend devoted to putting an enormous amount of pressure on your relationship.

Yes, you’re long-distance, but that doesn’t mean every now and then you can’t jump on a plane and—hold on, whose pants are these?

Maybe the problem is just you.

Who knows? Maybe you’ll be stationed at the same base.

It’s much easier to feel connected to someone knowing you’re hovering 500 miles above them in the sky rather than 500 miles across the state.

It’s always nice to get another set of eyes on dirty messages before sending them to your coworker.

It’s okay. Everything is okay.

Having an end date in sight can help shrink that distance, so mark your calendar for when you’ll be reunited in the same city and quietly wondering if you missed your best chance to end things.

Many couples who live together are forced to talk about money regularly, which you can replicate by making an evening out of maintaining your up-to-date tax records.

Something like “Get your ass back home” will remind them exactly why they moved away in the first place.

I guess if you touch yours, theirs will vibrate? Whatever, just hand over the money.

That’ll show them how important they are to you.

Phone calls are no substitute for getting to hear your loved one’s actual voice.

You can’t travel together right now, but there are online experiences that will allow you and your S.O. to spend time dwelling on how shitty a substitute this is.

Nothing sustains true love like an unhealthy obsession.

Make-up sexting is way hotter when you’ve got a historical backlog of your quarrels ready to unleash at any time.

They’ll appreciate it, it shows you care.

You may not be together, but at least you’ll always be able to storm off and crawl back to each other next week.
