LDR: heaven or heartache?

when a girl said,

"I'm in love with a boy who lives 5.000km away"

                                          Long Distance Relationship: heaven or heartache? 

ya! bahasa kerennya LDR. hubungan jarak jauh ini lagi beken bgt dikalangan anak muda hingga pasangan pengantin dewasa. penyebabnya juga macem2. ada yg tinggal di beda kota buat sekolah, beda pulau buat penempatan kerja, bahkan beda negara buat liburan. nahlo? 

ini tips yang paling bener kata saya, percaya syukur mboten nggih pun :p

 If you want to keep the spark alive, here are simple ways to stay connected..

1. Be Mentally Prepared 
Long distance relationships can be hard to do, especially if yo are not completely committed to them. Before you attempt a long distance relationship, you need to make up your mind that you will commit to the relationship. 


2. Make Face to Face Dates
Very few long distance relationships can survive without face to face dates. Having set dates to see each other can make the time apart easier to manage. Whether yo can see each other once a month or once a year, making plans to see each other is very important.


3. Keep Your Dates a Priority
It can be easy to let life get in the way, yet when yours is a long distance relationship you have to make time together a priority. Because long distance relationships lack the frequent contact that helps couples stay close, keeping the few dates you have is crucial. Make certain that you have arrangements ready and that you can say "no" to any last minute problems that may hinder your face to face time.


4. Have Daily Contact
No matter how far apart you are, couples in a long distance relationship can make an effort to contact each other at least once a day. Whether it is a short email or text message, or a lengthy phone call, having some sort of daily contact keeps the couple connected.


5. Go the Extra Mile

As in any relationship, taking a few extra steps from time to time to show that you care can be very important. Occasionally send a handwritten letter or card that shows that you care. With many companies willing to ship packages anywhere, you can order flowers or gifts to be sent to your partner almost anywhere in the world. These simple surprises can make a long distance relationship feel much closer.

6. Have Conversations When You Can and  Make Communicating Fun

Text messaging and social networking sites such as Twitter have made it easier to have conversations with anyone at any time. Couples in different time zones may need to find time for conversations whenever they can. Utilizing these tools, long distance relationships can feel closer than they really are.

7. Don't Forget the Power of Video

8. Don't Make Communicating a Burden

9. Involve Your Friends and Family

nanggung ya? sebenernya ini yg paling penting..
