As with any relationship, a long distance relationship involves more than just the two people trying to make it in a difficult and strenuous relationship. It involves family, friends and all people who care about us. Because long distance relationships can be especially stressful, I offer a step-by-step guide to negotiating different aspects of the relationship. In my book, I discuss tips and guidelines that will help with each phase of the relationship from meeting to courtship. I interject personal stories and asides regarding my UK to US romance in a way that showcases the human side of the advice that is always easier to offer than to truly apply.

He started learning all he could about the oil business and invested in a few oil wells. It took two years of hard work. It was a long time for her to wait for him, but he was sure that it would all be worth it.
