~Share a funny, private joke only the two of you can share

 

   ~When apart think of each other and what you will do when you meet

 

   ~Have your picture taken together and then once framed you each have one

 

 

            If you were to do only a few of these suggestions each day, imagine how alive your love life would be!

 

 

 

 

HONOR YOUR LONG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP

 

            Engaging in a long-distance relationship is very challenging!  To be up to it, take on the task of sending meaningful messages to your loved one on a regular basis.

 

            Use the instant messengers like AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, etc. to keep your love life hopping, long distance.  You have relative privacy and can reinforce the width and depth of your love this way.  Try to IM each day and night!

 

            Be really creative by writing a letter or finding a picture of something you have shared together. Paste the letter/picture to a piece of cardboard and then cut it into several puzzle pieces. Send your long distance love a few pieces every other day in the mail and once he or she has completed the puzzle send a dozen roses in celebration!

 

            Have someone take pictures of yourself and create a handmade calendar. Use card paper and glue a colorful border on each piece. Color copy it and enlarge the pictures, pasting them on the paper. Print out boxes on the computer for the days and decorate each week or month. Tie them all together with a fancy ribbon and send it to him or her in the mail.  Your loved one will not forget you!

 

            Send your loved one letters sprayed with your perfume/cologne. Soak pieces of material with your scent and include those and it will last forever!

 

            If you can’t be there to share a special moment, send your long distance love dinner by calling a restaurant where he/she lives and have them deliver your love's favorite meal.  Use your computer cam to enjoy the meal together!

 

            Instead of sending your love a hand-written letter this week, send a blank tape and microphone, and tell them your greatest desire for them when you next meet. They can listen to the tape whenever they want to hear your voice.
