Long-distance relationships are beautiful, but they can be difficult. Although modern technology has made it easier to connect with your partner abroad, sometimes things just don’t work!

So if you want to rekindle the dying romance in your long distance relationship this Valentine’s Day, we’ve got you!
Tips for Rekindling Romance in a Long Distance Relationship
Here are some things you can do to make your long-distance relationship work:
1. Plan a date
There are a few things the pandemic has taught us, and one of them is how to have a great online date! You might not be able to sit in the same room, but you can watch the same movie while on a video call. You can eat together, share your thoughts, and spend quality time together. It’s not about going to a fancy restaurant, it’s about getting to know each other a little better!
2. Communicate your thoughts
The only way to connect with your partner in a long distance relationship is through calls or video calls. With so much going on in life, it can be hard to connect all the time. So make sure you get the most out of your communication and really listen to yourself when you talk to yourself. Make it your priority to give your partner your full attention during the conversation.

3. Give your partner space
While having a conversation is important in a long-term relationship, it should be optional. Don’t make it a rule that you have X number of calls or that your partner needs to talk to you every night. Communication is important, but you or your partner shouldn’t feel pressured into talking in a relationship. When you force communication, conversations feel like a burden which is not the best for a relationship.
4. Look at the positives
We are all guilty of thinking negatively about things. Sometimes we are too quick to judge or overthink. When we’re away from someone, we make all kinds of assumptions or judgments that are completely wrong. Jealousy and possessiveness are things that affect a relationship and lead to problems. So be slow to judge and don’t think of things that don’t even exist. The best thing to do is communicate.
