I don't think political problems are the issue - unless the government bans travel - but long distance dating is hard work anyway and most people don't have the time for it.

Hey Adam. Well, in my opinion, I do believe long distance relationships are possible only when the two parties commit to the relationship equallyand make it work. There has to be that ccommitment of future marriage, especially for Christians to take the relationshi in gear. I was ina llong distance relationship with my first relationship a very long time ago...Because of certain situations and mistakes on my part, I don't like long distance relationships because I want to actually do stuff with my gut, and with longdistance, I rarely possible...However, if the two parties commit to seeing each other every few months, I believe it can work. Blessings.

Thanks Monique. I also subscribe to your opinion. I had a 3 years plus distant relationship with a lady from Louisiana but unfortunately it didn't work out for various reasons. Although in my opinion, that relation should and would have work out if both of us were committed to it as Monique rightly said.

I believe long distance can work, if its entered into for the right reasons and commitment. Its hard work but its also a possibility.

Hi. Adam, I live in Alaska and my boyfriend lives in Washington state near Seattle. The place I live in is considered the "BUSH "because we don't have a way out of town by a road that leads to an American city. Ours goes to Canada. The only way to the airport is to fly out or go by ferry.

For me to get to my guy is a multi layered traveling adventure. I own my own house and have 3 pets that needs a sitter and that costs money too.Then while I am with him I am sleeping in my friends house a town away.

Adam our love will carry us through the difficult situations. I believe that if God has put you together then its our job to see that it happens.

I was married for 28yrs. To the wrong guy.(he passed away). This is the right guy. We have been bf and gf for two months already. And we are learning alot about each other already. I will be meeting him on the 10th of November. We are spending five days together, then I will be traveling to Texas to be with family for Christmas. Coming back in January and spending his birthday with him for a few days.

So Yes I believe in long distance relationships. FunInAlaska

�Yea long distance relationship is hard work.�



I personally think that any form of relationship can be difficult inspite of distance! Could be relating with your mum, your boss, your friends and yes with an opposite sex that you could be attracted to! Distance can only top up and make things a bit harder. It's a question of chemistry and intimacy when having a long distance relationship. This is often not guaranteed even if both parties are living in a same home country.

if both parties are willing and want the same outcome then it's possible. Love has no borders just like how GOD has no borders. it can be hard and take alot to make it work, but in the end if it's meant to be then it's worth it. and GOD can make anything work if you'll let him. i believe that.

Log distance dating is quite possible and even probable if you're weird and exotic enough.



All you have to do is really be an out-of the-box thinker and get yourself a decent plane ticket on Cheap-O-Air.



Blessings :-)

Thanks to y'all for your post. You guys have been inspirational. I believe that though long distance relationship is hard work, its just as hard as many other relationships we have in our lives. Its just that this is harder because our emotions are involved in special way.

I think that if the "chemistry", "intimacy" and the inspiration is there, the distance wont be a barrier.

From my experience, I think that, we usually take the cop out excuse of saying long distance does not work because we don't want to deal with the potent issues that made the relationship not work. We'd rather prefer to numb the pains and carry those issues forward instead of dealing with them headlong.

One of the problems I found in myself, learning from my experience was that I was short patience. I always want things done fast. When things don't happen as fast as I want them, I get all worked up and take wrong actions. Having learnt this, I decided to allow God work on me in that area of my life because when I looked more at it, I see the same problem in my other relationships.

So, I think that if we as people can deal with ourselves as individuals and allow God to carry out His work on us, we'll not see distance as a barrier to a supposed life time commitment.

Long distance dating is possible but like what others have said, it is a hardwork. It requires discipline, patience, effort, time, perseverance and faith. Most importantly, technology and money especially if you're thousand miles away from each others. If you don't have what it takes, then don't do it. You will just end up with nothing.
