  • Maintaining a long distance relationship can be very challenging.

  • Some people might not have the confidence to go for it

  • because they worry that it might not work out.

  • However, if you and your partner are determined to overcome the struggles together,

  • then your relationship can go stronger than ever.

  • Are you wondering if you should commit to one?

  • Here are five signs you are ready for a long distance relationship.

  • One, you are not afraid of the future.

  • Being in a long distance relationship is often scary to couples,

  • because they are afraid of what will happen in the future.

  • Do you think being a part is only temporary?

  • That nothing will change because that both of you value commitment?

  • Are you very sure about each other?

  • If you answer "yes" to all the above, then it is very likely

  • that you will get a long distance relationship with your partner.

  • Felling confident and secure about what the future has to offer for the both of you,

  • is what will help the two of you stay closed,

  • despite the difference in miles or time zones.

  • Two, you trust each other.

  • There is no doubt that trust is very important in a successful relationship.

  • But sometimes, it can be hard to trust someone due to anxiety, insecurity,

  • and past of relationships that ended because of infidelity.

  • It's important to work these issues out first before committing to someone again.

  • Honestly, open communication and understanding one another are all key factors

  • that build strong trust between couples.

  • If you and your partner put time and effort to fulfill all these needs,

  • then there's a good chance that the two of you will succeed in a long distance relationship.

  • Three, you have similar goals.

  • For a long distance relationship to work out,

  • both you and your partner have to be certain about what you want in a relationship,

  • as well as your goals in life.

  • Often, relationships fall apart because two people want different things in life.

  • For example,

  • one partner may want to start a family and live in the suburbs,

  • while the other dreams of living in the big city,

  • and desires travelling over having kids.

  • To make sure you and your partner are on the same page,

  • it's important to have this discussion with them regularly,

  • to see if your outlook on kids, marriage, jobs, and location preference

  • match up as the two of you go together.

  • Four, you and your partner are committed to one another.

  • Do you and your partner value commitment in a relationship?

  • Are you attentive in invest a lot of time and effort into the relationship?

  • And do you take action to express your commitment for one another?

  • Commitment is what separate serious relationships from casual dating,

  • and long distance relationships require more of it

  • because both partners don't see each other as frequently.

  • It's important to make sure you and your partner build a solid relationship first

  • where compromise is frequently met

  • before going a long distance ground.

  • Five, your relationship with your partner is a priority.

  • Ask yourself honestly, how important is your partner to you?

  • The more you value your partner and vice versa,

  • the more likely your relationship will survive when it goes long distance.

  • Here are some questions that can help both of you figure out if your relationship is a top priority.

  • Do you respect and value your partner's beliefs and opinions?

  • Do you remember the details they share with you?

  • And do you nurture your relationship consistently ?

  • Remember, a relationship is always a two-way street.

  • In order for your relationship to survive,

  • your partner has to be just as invested in it as you.
