Long Distance Relationship..could it survive?

An important point to remember is that online or long distance relationships will generally become more serious more quickly, often plans for the future are made and commitment is given a lot more quickly than you would with someone you have just met in real life. However you can never truly know what someone is like until you have met them, it would be wise to leave any commitment until you meet them face to face, that way you know exactly what you are going into.

One of the major problems if you have met someone on the internet, is how to meet up with them. The most important thing is to make sure it’s safe. Before arranging to meet up try to speak with them on the phone, watch them on webcam if they have one, and also send a letter in the post so you can be sure they do actually live where they say they do. When you do actually go to meet them, or they come to you, make sure you have someone with you, a friend or family member, and try to meet in a public place.

I and my husband had a long distance relationship before we got married too but we survive. We both work it out and thank God we're together now.
