Distant Love Affair

Finding someone to love knows no boundaries. In the most unexpected place and time, love can grow and if nurtured properly, can lead to a relationship that can bring two people together forever in each other’s arms. As cliché as it may sound, but to have someone to spend the rest of our lives with has always been a satisfying achievement for humans. What if these two people are not really together physically? Can two people stay in love with each other even when they have to spend some of their lives away from each other? Can a long distance relationship survive in this critical world?

Having someone you love near you is in general, a healthy relationship. Two people can spend time together, go to places, hold hands, and closely watch each others growth. For married couples, love can be best nurtured by being together. Having to wake up in the morning and the first face you see is of that person you love, and becoming the last person he sees as the day ends. One certainly wouldn’t want to be anywhere else than to be beside each other.

Relationships like that mentioned earlier, is the most common one. It is even considered the normal kind of relationship. But as sure as it shows, a non – long distance relationship is facing a lot of challenges ever imagined. Some even claim that this kind of relationship is boring and can even lead to painful break ups. Yes, too painful because they already get attached to each other’s company. Commonly, getting over and moving on is ultimately difficult because of the many months and years shared together. One can go through serious depression before getting to the part of accepting the facts of the broken relationship.

However, somewhere in the midst of these so-called normal relationships, stood the kind of relationship that is said to be standing thru the test of time and distance. Will we ever consider a long distance relationship a strong relationship that can break barriers and mend people regardless of the miles between them? Surprisingly, there are countless of couples who started out having a long distance relationship and for years they made struggles and held on to promises. Faith is all they have. Trust is their only foundation and frequent communication serves as their tool to keep each other’s company. Most of all, the hope that they can be together someday becomes their inspiration to ignore huge trials.


Interestingly, reality is still showing a very little difference between these two types of relationships. Love has no boundaries as mentioned at the first part of this article. Whatever is the circumstance, it will always be the attitude of the two people involved that would determine whether or not a relationship is to survive. That is not easy according to many and so they would rather believe in destiny and follow where the wind blows. Still the question left unanswered. Will a long distance relationship survive in this critical world? I think another cliché can give simple answers to this. “If there is a will, there is a way. Love never fails.”
