I've always heard it's absence makes the heart grow FONDER.
Either way, I think it's true! When you're apart you both realize how much you love and need each other.
Even the little things about that person that you once thought were annoying become things you really miss.

It's "... grow fonder," not "stronger." Take a look:
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder" means that the time you spend away from one you love makes you love that person even more. Example: "Does it bother you that your husband goes away on long business trips?" Reply: "No. The time we have spent apart has been good for us. Absence makes the heart grow fonder." The word "absence" means to be away. To "grow fonder" is to care more. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" means the time you spend away from someone you love ("absence") makes you love that person even more ("the heart grows fonder"). Example: "It is much easier to get along with your parents when you live away from home. You miss them so much and are glad when you see them." Reply: "It's true. Absence makes the heart grow fonder." When someone you care for is away, you miss that person and think about them often, and that feeling makes you want to be with them even more.

Yes, absolutely! Not only can absence add a little excitement to a relationship and give you both a chance to miss each other but with a little space you usually only remember the good things about your relationship and the other person. Rose colored glasses so to speak

I was just separated from my guy for a 6 month job overseas (he took it, not me). Although I love him a lot and we are now engaged, I have to admit that instead of making the heart grow stronger, it made the hurt feelings of leaving me back home alone to fend for myself grow. We are now trying to get our lives back on track as well as our relationship, but these hurt feelings inside of me are almost too much.

Only if you truly love a person. If not, it is a sure split up.

I don't think so, it only makes things more distant
