5 interesting benefits of long distance relationships

Being apart doesn’t mean that you’ll be treating each other like strangers. You can find ways to connect every day, and even tell your lover goodnight each night.

1. It can lead to a happier you:
Having a lot of time to yourself, as long as you use it to your advantage, can lead to a healthier mind, body and spirit. You’ll have more time to follow your own dreams. You can work on your career or further your education, so that when the time comes for you and your partner to settle down, you’ll be in a better place in your life. You can take time to care for your body by getting fit or relaxing in a hot bath, which will enhance your self-esteem and overall well-being

2. You get to have it “all.”:
Many singles yearn for companionship and love, while many people who are in relationships yearn for the freedom they had when single. In a long distance relationship, you have both a loving, supportive partner and time to yourself. It’s the perfect combination of some of the best elements of single life and dating.
3. No one will resent your relationship:
If you talk to many unhappy couples, you will hear stories like, “I was going to get my Master’s degree, but I met my love and settled down.” In the passion of love, it is easy to put aside dreams because it feels as if nothing else matters. But years later, that can impact a relationship negatively. There is plenty of time for you to pursue becoming your own person when your partner is far away.
4. It can make the relationship stronger and healthier: 
When two people in love are also fulfilling their own hopes and dreams, that positive energy will spill over into their relationship. A couple is only as strong as the two individuals who form it. If either partner feels they have no free time, missed out on their dreams or lack fulfillment, the relationship is bound to suffer.
5. You can still keep the romance alive: 
Being apart doesn’t mean that you’ll be treating each other like strangers. You can find ways to connect every day, and even tell your lover goodnight each night. With modern advancements like Skype, you can even see each other’s faces and talk about your day while eating dinner at the table
