Publisher's summary

"Everything would be fine if we lived in the same town/state/country" is the common reason many men and women give for a long-distance relationship not working out. Yes, distance can put an enormous strain on a relationship, but claiming that "distance" is the only reason a relationship didn't work out, or cannot work, is putting your hands over your ears and shouting "Land", because the truth is, it's too much to handle. I've met many men and women who won't try long-distance relationships because, according to them, "Long-distance relationships just don't work." That simply isn't true!

Long-distance relationships can and do work if the two individuals involved want it to. In my opinion, the question is not, "Do long distance relationships work?" But rather "Do both of you want to make it work?" If you both want to make it work, distance is just another obstacle that two people who truly love each other can easily overcome if they really want to. These simple-to-follow tips will help your long distance relationship not only survive distance, they'll also help you lay a strong foundation for a relationship that is fun, fulfilling, and successful last? The Internet has changed the way we live and the way we love. It has changed the way we socialize, and it has also increased the likelihood of finding love over the Internet. Conversations are easy to strike up with regularity, and it's easy to discover that you have strong feelings for someone who lives hundreds or thousands of miles away from you! Many people are choosing to have long distance relationships. Long-distance relationships might feel wonderful at first. However, they come with their own set of unique challenges as well.

Eye opening

I often thought we were doing everything right and couldn’t understand why we would argue, why we kept hurting each other, when it was obvious how much we love each other, that we made each other happy and have a future together

Hearing this though I see many of the behaviours I and we were guilty of and truly believe this is going to be a new chapter in our relationship as friends and lovers in an ldr

Great Coverage!

Great coverage of all the major topics. Really enjoyed the learnings presented in this book

this book has helped so much and has soothed my fears i would reallt recommend this book

Honesty and Trust

As fast-paced as relationships are today, the slow courting process is the only option in a long distance relationship. There is much old-fashioned advice that people in real life relationships could really use from this book. This is my opinion (and not the author’s), I would like to add that a long distance relationship is not really a full relationship, so when you finally see the person in real life, I would encourage everyone to take advantage of that double stack of the distance/ in real life relationship and be courted a second time! There is not much in the way of advice when the couple has children. This changes much of the advice in my opinion. If the author would care to write a second book to hone into this area, I think that many readers would be buying that volume as well. Anyhow, great job!

Great book ever

I highly recommend people in the long distance relationship to read this book. Amazing it is!

falling short

I expected more. unsure what to take from it. the story left out or undermines the complexity that plays out in long distance relationships.

Great book

just got into a LDR and found everything that was said in this book quite useful. it's no secret that a LDR is a tough challenge but there are many useful tips and ideas on how to best manage a LDR. This book is short and concise. Narrator did a really good job. Highly recommend this book to anyone in a LDR or is possibly getting into one.

Quick and easy. Full of valuable info.

Worth it! Quick and easy but tons of useful stuff in here. This book will leave you feeling optimistic but with realistic expectations. Definitely glad I invested the time to listen and surprised at how much was delivered in a small space. Great value.
