1. Communication - lots of talking, so go buy your phone cards
2. Understanding - theres times when someone won't be available, hours are different, conflicting schedules, and more. Just be patient with everything, especially if you have a disagreement. No ones there to hug you and tell you its ok, because its long distance, so be ready for that.
4. Hope - It makes it a lot easier to have a goal, so plan trips. Know when you are going to see eachother next, even if its not for months. Talk about your future, when you will be back together, how it will be. Having hope and something to look forward to takes the stress off the relationship, theres no "when are we going to see eachother again" stress.

Honestly....real honest true love, compromise, and trust. I've been in a long distance relationship longer than I'll probably admit to. And as a heads up....be ready for some major conflicts. It's going to be really hard but if you both really want eachother and a life together you both will find the strength you need to work your way through it.
Best of luck.

Try to talk a lot... about everyday stuff as well as important stuff. If you both have internet, it is nice to have a webcam. That way you can see your significant other as well as talk to them. There are many free services for this. Visiting is also nice when possible. The main thing is to go into it with a strong relationship. If you are newly together or have struggled at staying together during your relationship, it is going to be hard to keep it going far apart. Trust is also a big thing.

One can have trust and love as you see in the other answers. However, there will come a point in time which one of you will have a to make a permanent decision to move nearby. What good is trust and "love" if you are not willing to commit to someone by moving near them? The relationship needs to have future goals.

the way i deal with it is skype. it helps so much. its a great little program that allows you to talk to anyone else on skype for completely free (and if you live in the USA or canada, its free to call real phones). you talk every evening, see each other on your webcams (huge help) and share pictures and visit links together. also another great way we deal with it is to read a book together and talk about it. its a great way to talk about something and be literally on the same page as one another. visiting always helps, but if you truly feel passionate about each other, you can make it work, just lots of communication.

Aside from love, communication and honesty.....
Trust....gotta have trust on both sides.
Neither person is able to "watchdog" the other and it's impossible to know what they're each doing, where they are, and who they're talking to at every minute. All they have to rely on is their level(s) of trust.....trust in eachother, trust their love is strong enough to span the miles and trust in themselves not to waiver, trust that they can trust in eachother.
Good luck!

communication became our secret. We were 2.5 hours aside even as relationship for over 3 years. We spoke daily and informed one yet another of our days. there have been situations even as not a lot became suggested yet even being in silence and in basic terms having the different significant different on the different end of the cord at situations became effective. we would play card video games with one yet another on the internet. E-mails and shocked attempt messages telling one yet another how a lot we loved and ignored one yet another also befell. We were adults so would commute to confirm one yet another each and each and every weekend, i'd both visit her abode or her to mine for the weekend. Time that we were given to spend at the same time became valued and favored. actuality is that even as in LDR's there are quite some temptations yet with the flexibility to proceed to be straightforward is quite undemanding as long as both appreciate, understand and love one yet another. I married the girl who I had a LDR with in basic terms 2 months in the past and we proceed to stay aside at present. We both have quite good jobs at present and so ought to proceed to be there as we adore our employment and for economic motives also. yet we proceed to save in contact daily and be conscious one yet another on weekends. there have been some marvel visits also throughout the time of our courtship and those were very a lot favored and actual needed at situations. sounds like you've a quite good draw close on being fascinated in a LDR and the pitfalls linked with them. in spite of the indisputable fact that the old adage is fairly authentic "absence makes the heart improve fonder" and also you too will appreciate each and every second that you get to spend at the same time. best of luck to you both in dealing with this LDR and on your submit education study also.
