How to Tell When a Relationship is Over
Forget where I got this link from...
Anyway, do these scenarios look familiar? ;)
... from what I observed and experienced...
You Are 40% Boyish and 60% Girlish |
You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them. You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be. |
You Are 30% Weird |
Not enough to scare other people... But sometimes you scare yourself. |
Can Long Distance Relationships Really Work?
Distance is not the end of the world in a relationship
Distance cannot, and will not hurt a bond between two people that is based on mutual respect, trust, commitment, and love.
Although you may feel like you are losing faith in your relationship at times, hold fast and trust your heart!
I, like you, truly believe that love & relationships are what make your life special, and that ones built on love & understanding are always worth preserving, regardless of the miles that may separate two people.

but here is the key I believe ... we do twice a week devotions together (in addition to our personal daily devotions) ... we read Bible togteher and spend couple hours in front of God ... not seeking God to bring us together ... but simply praying and doing devotions ...
we also have decieded that we will not seek God to tell us or Him to bring us together ... we have left to up to Him ... and we both trust that if tomorrow for some reason God would tell us "give this person up to me" we both have hearts to say "Lord may your will be done" ...

Most of what I will say has been said... the trust and communication. That is so true. Those really are the two most important factors. Make sure you talk everyday and know what's going on in each other's lives. In a way... I kind of think LDR's have advantages in this area. When all you can do is talk, you get *really* good at communicating. It is different when you're together. There's a lot more distractions. Enjoy this time as the time you get to spend really getting to know the person on the inside. Their thoughts and hopes and dreams.
Reading a book or doing a devotional is also a wonderful thing to do. You can each read it and then discuss it. It'll bring up a lot of topics that you might never have discussed otherwise. It's good stuff.
Someone said that watch a movie together apart idea... we actually did that before. haha. We did it a couple times. It was kinda fun. Start the movie at the same time and you get to experience it together.- Post #: 8 - starvin.artist.gurl
