Are there any christian teenage girld out there who have had a long distance relation ship and it work out ok?

Question

That can go the opposite way too.

Answer 1

hey im a jesus freak too. =]] its nice to see that u r!! lol so anyway...well ive tried to have one a couple times and it never works out. because of the distance and everything i find it hard to number one, trust the guy and number two, its hard on me because i miss him a lot and i wanna see him but with a lot of miles in between...i cant. but maybe itll work out for you cuz maybe ur not THAT far away and maybe u can trust the guy. i have huge standards for a boyfriend..he has to be christian as well. so if i truly believe that he will be faithful to me and that he will call me lots and email and so on and so forth then i would go for it. there are lots of pluses and minuses to a long distance relationship and there is a lot to consider but i usually like to keep it local. however if its love, its forever and nothing can break them apart. ;]] good luck and i will pray for you. i.m or email me anytime. God bless!!

Answer 2

I acutally had this conversation with some friends of mine. I have seen both happy and miserable couples that had a long distance courtship. Both communicated by email, written letters, and telephone. But the big difference? What they did when they spent time together. The couple that is now miserable spent time cuddling, 'showing off' their partner to their friends and family and having a great time. The happy couple did much of the same but the difference was, they were mature enough to realize that marriage is a BIG deal. They used the face to face time to talk about their 'dirty laundry', personal likes/dislikes, goals and ambitions- the kind of stuff that is hard to 'read' in print or on the telephone. They also asked other mature married couples and their single friends to 'test' out their partner- basically allowing others to see the personality and other traits of the person you are interested in. They truly want what is best for you, and are not jaded by romantic love for the other person.

Finally, the happy couple remembered that 'a three fold cord cannot be quickly torn in two'. They kept God in their marriage setting aside time weekly to study the bible together.

Just remember to make sure that you are evenly matched with this person, trust the advice of your parents and mature friends, and rely on the guidance you find in the bible.

Answer 3

I have had a few long distance relationships and they are really hard on anyone, even if your not a christain. if you are persistant about being sexually abstidant and saving yourself for your future husband it is probably a safer thing to do. good luck

Answer 4

I'd be realistic, call him a friend, then be a pal. Ignore the attraction and add him to your buddy or my space friends list, keep in touch and even hang out when you can. You not regret a friendship, or lose it.
