Love is a fire that needs the right combination of fuel and air. Too much fuel and it suffocates. Too much air and it burns itself out.
So a little absence can make the heart grow fonder, just make sure that its not too much. (and thats going to be different for each different relationship)

I definetely think so. I'm spending the holidays away from my boyfriend, and I can tell you that during this time I've thought about him constantly, whereas when I'm at home it's not such a prevalent thing. I guess it's something about not being able to see them or touch them whenever you want to that makes you want it even more and therefore makes you love them more.

Yes.
You can't really appreciate something unless you know how much worse life can be without it.
Of course, if you make things difficult for those around you, absence might not work so well.

Depends on the motive and context of the relationship:
1) If malice or direct-mainipulation is involved then NO!
2) If what the other truly-needs is proximity and closeness, then NO!
3) If one of the other starts, is in the process of, or has lost themselves completely in the other person, that the one lost can't even carry out basic-functions without the other, then before it get's to that point, and preferrably much earlier, then.....................
.............................................. - YES ! - ...................................

Yes it does but it makes the eye wander more than a fond heart.

in some cases it does... in some the person grows so used to you being gone that when they come home it is so hard to get used to be around the other person.

Yes, and familiarity breeds contempt.
