Make sure that you talk almost everyday. Its difficult. My husband was in sub school for a year and a half and boot camp. That's when we almost divorced.

Long distant relationships are extremely difficult. However, with that being said, I have found constant communication and occasional visits to each other really helps. I would send little gifts and cards and email each other. This can be a costly proposition. It also makes a difference as to the reason why you both are apart. For example, if it is for graduate school or for professional reasons, then the focus is different in that you both are working on bettering yourself, which will also strengthen your relationship. Therefore, it is important to verbally remind yourselves why you both are apart and how this will strengthen your relationship. I put a lot of faith in my God too. It helps even if you are not religious. I am not but I do believe in God and he'll see you through this, I promise.

I used to live on the road and for 5 yrs I didn't come home. But in you case the phone is a fine idea. A bus or train visit would be nice surprise. You could get a tape recorder and send him tapes like a letter. Don't tell him of the problems your having at home like with the house or car and family problems. Act positive tell him you miss him say positive things about your day. All ways be truthful to each other. Tell him that you appreciate his sacrifice for your family. It takes a lot of love and trust to be away from home. But I will tell you a little secret my parents did it for 43 yrs and raised 4 kids. He would come home when the business was done and she ran the home life and would go visit dad. It was hard but you can do it. Good Luck

Well, if you are apart from your loved one, there is always emailing, IM ing, or just talking on the phone. Those methods of communication should strenghten the bond between the two of you.
