A long distance relationship can be terrifying. I was in a long distance relationship twice with the same woman. I went on to marry this woman and live in the same city. I was a failure in a long distance relationship, and I was a success in a long distance relationship. My long distance relationship was heart breaking at times, and it was amazing at times. Let me explain the 5 key areas to having a successful long distance relationship.
1. Emotions in a Long Distance Relationship
Handling your emotions in a long distance relationship can be very difficult. A long distance relationship is very different from a same-city relationship. When you’re in a long distance relationship, you have to read more into the words and actions of your partner.
2. Methods of Communication
A long distance relationship has different methods of communication. My first long distance relationship in 1994, was just the telephone. I spent $300 a month on long distance telephone calls. This was the main reason the long distance relationship failed – we couldn’t justify the costs.
With the Internet you can have a long distance relationship for free using programs like MSN. Textual chat is one way, voice chat (like an audio conversation) is another, and best of all is video chat (face to face communication using web cameras). My 2nd long distance relationship with the same woman used MSN and web cameras for video conferencing. It was amazing to see each other every night. You could see the emotion in your partner’s face – it was the main reason our long distance relationship was successful the time around.
3. Growing Together While Living Apart
Using programs like Skype, or MSN can allow you to grow together in your long distance relationship. It’s essential to make the connection and make the most of your valuable communication time. Having a face to face conversation, sharing instant messenger messages, cell phone text messages, email messages are just some of the ways you can grow together with your partner in a long distance relationship.
4. Potential Problems and Mistakes
There are potential problems and mistakes in a long distance relationship. The biggest problem is ‘misunderstanding’. In my 2nd long distance relationship, I relied on email and cell phone text messaging for the majority of my communication – I would misread text a lot of the time.
Text has no emotion, like in an email, or a cell phone text message. There aren’t enough smileys or emoticons to describe one’s feelings. Text is just black on white, very faceless, and I found I would misinterpret a message. That little voice inside my head would play on it.
My biggest piece of advice is to not let your heart-strings be tugged by text. Take it at face value in context of the rest of the message or messages, and trust in yourself that everything is fine. You’ll be able to clarify the conversation when you speak with your partner face to face later in the day or evening.
5. How to Keep your Long Distance Relationship Interesting
Keeping your long distance relationship interesting is essential. Sharing the conversation is crucial. On average a person listens for 17 seconds before interrupting. Listen twice as much as you speak. Show your respect and admiration for your partner by sharing the conversation.
My partner and I would play online games together through MSN or other web sites. We’d share photo and news stories with each other. There was always a things to do with each other. Communicating online opened so many doors for keeping the long distance relationship interesting.
Conclusion
So if you’re not sure whether you’re ready for a long distance relationship, ask yourself these questions:
1. Am I willing to make the time to communicate with my partner
2. Do I have the tools (MSN, Webcam, Headset, Microphone) to have a long distance relationship online
3. Am I emotionally equipped to have a long distance relationship, where I may not speak with the person every day, and where I may have to rely on email or text messaging for my emotional needs
If you can answer Yes to these 3 questions, you are certainly ready for a long distance relationship. A long distance relationship can be one of the most rewarding love relationships.
A long distance relationship builds emotions at a different levels and in different areas of the relationship than a usual same-city relationship. If you can survive the distance, you can have a successful long distance relationship. Best of luck to you!

Human beings are a complicated mix. For example, we are quite social and operate in groups … yet, we are also unique, individual units. Some activities are correctly pursued in group, but some pursuits must be solo. As Christians, we become part of the body of Christ – yet, we remain an individual. God says it this way: “You are Christ’s body, and individually members of it.” Furthermore, He distributes spiritual gifts “to each one individually just as He wills” and places “the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desire(s)” (1Cor 12:11,18 and 27). Those in this group actually have their individuality enhanced – by imparted gifts. But, … let’s move back a step.

I often hear this at the end of a Fall fundraising season… “I sure thought we would have done better.” Or, “I don’t know what happened, but we didn’t do as well as I thought we were going to do.”
Being on the receiving end of this because we run hundreds of school fundraisers every semester, I can tell you my take on “WHY” most of these groups didn’t meet their expectations. The only problem with me saying it is that most people will simply nod their head in agreement and then go on their way forgetting about it because it sounds to unbelievably simple to work or it goes against their own notion of what works and what doesn’t.
I can say that without a doubt that as long as a school does a main stream product line, as opposed to some quaint product line you will find in the fundraising world, in their school fundraisers, they can and do have above average sales “IF” they do one thing. One simple thing, that’s it. The answer to a great fundraising program can be summarized in three words… Do Great Prizes!
That’s it! If you do average everyday prizes you will have an average everyday school fundraiser. If you skimp on prizes, you will have a poor sale. If you enter a partnership with your fundraising company and charge full bore into giving premium prizes at the right levels, you will make much more profit than you thought possible. Period.
The facts don’t lie. This is not my opinion or bias, it’s just a plain and simple fact. This is based on the results that even you could take a look at on our website. If you “Wow” the students and their parents with the prize incentives you offer with your fundraiser, they will “Wow” you with results that you did not expect. Pretty simply stated, if you make it worth their while to participate in your school fundraising drive, they will more than likely do just that… participate! And the level of participation is where you make your profit.
It is not getting more students selling 40-80 items, it’s getting 50-100 more students that sold nothing last time to sell 5 or more things this time. Think about it, which would you rather have, 3 students selling 50 things or 100 students selling 5 things?
THow you put the “Wow” in your incentive program is a little more involved than just adding a drawing for a Playstation or Wii, but it is a pretty simple process. In fact, if all you do is add a $200 Playstation or Wii game as your top seller prize, the only thing that will happen is you will waste a perfectly good two hundred dollar bill. However, there is a one way to structure your “Wow” factor that will greatly increase your participation and the level that participation goes to. In most cases, the first time you set up your school fundraiser incentive program in a “Wow” way, you’ll more than likely see anywhere from a 40% – 200% increase in your previous sales.
Like I said earlier, this is just too simple and the claim just a little too far “out there” for many people to accept it. It’s simple nature however, does not change the fact that it works to increase the results of school fundraisers almost every time that it is tried. Period.
