will a long distance work??
what practical things can we do to make it last that, hopefully, it'll lead us to a lifetime commitment (marriage)??

I went out with a girl for over a year, and then moved away. About 500 miles, so not too far. But I was stuck out there, and we saw each other every few months. We talked on the phone a few times a week but set apart time one night a week where we could talk for hours if we wanted to. We also constantly emailed. The internet is great for long distance. Then I moved back to her. We lived happily ever until she dumped me a year later. But the long distance part really worked. Good luck.

It depends. My husband and I started off in a long distance relationship - (6 years ago, we lived about 6 hours apart). I have to admit it was hard work and at times I didn't think we would make it through but here we are 6 years later (married for over a year now). It took hard work and trust on both our parts. He would come visit once a month but we would talk on the phone, email and chat online a lot. We were honest with each other every step of the way.
Good luck! I hope everything works out well for you two! =)

Yep in my case it didn't work either. But, there is a lot of technology you can use, such as Skype video using a webcam, vonage voip phone(you can call europe and north america for unlimited time and cheap everywhere else. Write lots of hand written letters. when you type your emails, if you can type, try typing with your eyes closed, you will find that a lot of thoughts come out and it makes it nice for the other person to read. Lastly, set a deadline as to when you will end up in the same place.

It's very hard, especially if you are quite young. I guess that biggest factor is how long it will be for. If there's light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how distant it is, then that should be your main focus. If you can get together once in a while and maintain your trust and faith in each other in the meantime, then why not? Good luck.

It takes a lot of work and commitment for it work. You have to have 100% trust. Trust is the key.
Good Luck

It all depends how long you have been dating. If you have formed a strong bond already, it probably will work. With today's technology, you two can keep in touch, cell, e-mail, webcams. I know of people who made it work. Praying will help, and also positive thinking.

Of course, you need to be deeply in love with each other.
Communication is very important.
Willingness to make the relationship work.
Plus, all the things that each one of you is expecting from each other like the usual : trust, honesty....so on.
Lastly, you should meet...definitely!
