How I was able to keep a distance relationship.

Good day everyone and welcome to my blog.
I will like to join this week contest on distance relationship because that is what has been in existence in my life for the past two years and we keep loving each other the more.

Distance relationship as we are all familiar with is a love relationship between two partners that are separate due to living in different locations. In my own case, I am staying close to iyana ipaja in Lagos while my partners stays close to Epe.

Before I agreed to date him, I already knew what I was entering into and we both agreed to make our relationship work come what may. I will be sharing important ingredients that helped in our case.

Love: the love between us kept us together despite the distance, we are not seeing each other but we are connected. We confess our love to each other at every opportunity and we never gets tired of it.

Trust: before I agreed to date my partner we were friends and I could testify that he can be trusted. I know about his past and he knew mine. I know what he is capable of doing, who he walks with and where he goes most times.

Determination: we have this deep commitment to each other that "we go no where, we both die here". We are so determined that our relationship is towards having marriage no matter how long it will take before we finally settled down.

Communication: Although we struggled with this at first because of our other commitments but with time we were able to establish a means of communication that keeps our love alive.

Visiting: we create time to visit each other. Most of my holidays I will make sure I visit him and anytime he is free too he visits.

I guessed you might be thinking our relationship is perfect. It is not. There is no month we don't quarrel but we always find a way to settle. The more we quarrel the more I get to know him more and the more we really don't want to leave each other.

To me there is no difference between distance relationship and those that not in distance relationship. Once both partners identify what works for them and understand each other I believe they are good to go.

We should also not forget that physical distancing can be maintained but emotional or gap in communication is what can really affect relationships. One thing that almost destroy our relationship is comparing my partner to others and different experiences on social media. I had to stay off some channels and cast out fear.

I and my partner are used to positive confessions and this has worked for us many times.
I pray we all enjoy our love relationship irrespective of the distance whether long or short.
Thanks for reading.
