I'm currently in a LDR tomorrow Feb 4 we will have 5 months.
I have to say that I've struggled so many times as we have a 12 hour difference so this has been challenging.
I thank you for these tips.. Most of them we have accomplished as praying for each other.
I certainly hope we make a dream come true!! ❤

This is so helpful. I'm in a LDR and we are going into our 9th month. I love him with all my heart, but this is so hard some days. We are both trying, but I definitely needed this motivation. Thank you❤

My boyfriend of 4 1/2 years will be moving states away to be with his son. We are in our 40s. He’s worth the wait. I adore him. It’s going to be around 2 years of waiting.

I was recently praying about my relationship with a female friend of mine to progress in one way or another.. A few days of praying later, I saw a YouTube short about long distance relationships. I had heard of them before but that sparked something in me to go looking for more. Your video has helped me understand what the commitment would be. She’s the most Godly woman in my life and I would love to spend my the rest of my life with her.. Now to see what she thinks.

last time I had a long distance relationship my mom said it's just a friendship cause you don't see each other so there goes my family's support out the window lol

What good down to earth advice, all the points taken in context work, however adding pray to the schedule is a game changer.

[aylex]

All of this is a true help. Specially praying everyday for this person sending good energy

I’m elderly and have a long distance relationship. W talk every day and visit when we can. We’re 1000 miles apart. Some of your tips we already do but your other tips are helpful.

Me watching even though I’m not in a long distance relationship, haha (or any relationship for that matter)😂😂. Love from the UK❤️

[psychedelicaa]

being prayerful is the key ❤️🙏🏻 i love her and it is worth to change my whole life, to be with her. to let my second half fall to be one with her. thats a great point from the video and so true to me. this emotional thriving is keeping every thing together. so work, save enough money, learn her language. use the technology by texting in speed of light throug the world together, being humbe and very important maybe the most, be compassionful. solve problems amd talk as much as you can together about the day, send photos, selfies, videocalls. stay always connectet. Recognize yourselves as husband and wife. Show her or him that he or she is. take a break, tell them everything that happend. no no secrets!

Expectations.. expectations.. very true 👍

Hey Kendra! Thank you so much for making this video! I met someone this summer and we both have a great conection. I was never ever a fan of LDR but I truly see how patient and kind the guy is with me and I can see how committed he is to continuing this relationship. Your video really helps and makes me realize that it's worth it. May God bless you and your husband 🤍

This is so compelling. I'm in a three month long distance relationship. Wished I had seen this before I started because I was doubtful it could work. But the daily talking first in, last out began to cement a relationship. It compelled conversations and those led to just revealing more about our characters. And not in an interview type way but just organically and I can tell she needs this to build real trust.

[EileenMckenna-opdj]

Thankyou so much, l do believe that prayer is the way forward . God in the middle of all we do in life, then follows all other things, patience, kindness, compassion, understanding of each others needs, keep pressing forward in Gods light.
Trust in the lord for he is grasouse and loving, he will never let us down, be hurt, injured, he is the protector of all his children.

[LoveSpaceandTime]

I'm grateful that we are in the same time zone and can talk and see each other regularly. I have experienced some of what you spoke about as far as feeling disconnected. We make it a priority to talk to each other first thing in the morning and pray with each other. It works.

[Mike.Cebert]

I'm a few months into a ldr, 2.5 hours away and it's going OK but we see each other for a short while say every few weeks so far. Not ideal. We do text every day and occasionally call in between our meetings. We've met a total of 4 times only for around 1-2 days each. I like her enough to keep this going but do worry.

Congrats yall! Thank you for this wonderful love story! Be amazing! GODISGOOD!

How to survive in a long-distance relationship:

2) communicate first thing in morning and last thing at night
3) make each other a priority
4) communicate expectations
5) make fun date nights - be creative virtually
6) be exclusive, be committed
7) read a book together, then discuss it
8) make plans to see each other as often as you can
9) involve your family & friends for support system
10) make them your wallpaper or screensaver on phone to see their face every day
11) pray for each other often
12) pray with each other

This was so helpful. My boyfriend lives 2 1/2 hours away. My boyfriend doesn’t have a car right now and so it’s only me going to see him. Sometimes I just wanna stay here. I feel like the relationship would be easier had he had a car but I’ve visited him a couple of times. It’s like every time I go see him and I’m with him I don’t wanna leave.
