Long Distance Marriage

chapter 6 : UNDERSTANDING

2010-07-21T00:17:00.000-07:00

We really have to understand the person we love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love.

At the close of life the question will be not how much have you got, but how much have you given; nor how much have you won, but how much have you done; not how much have you saved, but how much have you sacrificed; how much have you loved and served, not how much were you honored.

chapter 5 : Once Upon a Time...

What a Woman Want :

Find a man who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep…

Wait for the man who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you’ re just as pretty without makeup on.

One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU… The one who turns to his friends and says, thats her…

chapter 4 : Great Love

2010-07-21T00:13:00.000-07:00

We all want Great Love because this is how we are built. We so often use this expression of the soul mates. We all want it to be true because, when we truly find our soul mates, we all want to end forever this continuous torment which is our own existence.

Every time, the result is cruel and precise. The torment of our life will never end as long as we live.

chapter 3 : How To Maintain ?

Marriage is a complicated relationship. Being apart physically makes a marriage even more challenging.

The key, as it is in all relationships, is communication. Keep the lines of communication open on a daily basis.
Being committed to one another and truly believing that your spouse belives in the marriage commitment is vital.
A long distance marriage will fail if there is a lack of trust between the partners.
Although you are apart from one another, make time for one another. You can do this by sending a letter, an email, writing in a journal, day dreaming about your spouse, or having an icq or chat conversation.
Share your expectations about being apart from one another. Also share your expectations when you are close to being together again.
Be honest about your concerns and fears about your separation.
Try to daily dialogue with each other.
Keep a daily journal.
Give one another a scented pillow case or shirt to help keep your presence with them.
Plan a trip or some fun activity (other than sex) to do when the two of you are back together.
Use online communication to send emails, electronic cards, pictures, music, poems, and stories.
Use ym, skype, gtalk, icq or other instant messaging services.
Camcorders can be great for being able to see one another or your children.
Play online games together.
Surprise each other once in a while with a phone call. Send care packages to each other now and then.

chapter 1 : How Far We Are !

2010-07-20T21:13:00.000-07:00

How far we are from each other,

makes me have a heavy heart.

I don’t ever mean to smother,

I just don’t want to be apart.

We have a sea between us,

but our love is side by side.

There is no need for a fuss,

cause you’ll come with the tide.
