9 Proven Ways to create
Intimacy in a Long Distance Relationship
(...cont'd)
5. Scrapbook Of Our Relationship
It often helps to have something to look back on
while we are apart. A scrapbook or photo album is a
great way to do this. Whenever you are together take
LOTS of pictures. After you separate again collect
the pictures and put them in an album. Write little
notes about how you were feeling during the certain
times the photographs were taken and tuck them under
or next to the photograph. Make two copies and send
one to your partner. Whenever you are feeling
lonely, take out your book and remember all the fun
times you've had together.
6. Write Love Letters
Couples in long distance relationships are
usually faced with more episodes of doubt than the
typical relationship. To help counter this, make
sure you are both sending letters to each other,
even if by e-mail. Every so often, compile your
letters in a nice folder. Now, whenever those feelings of doubt creep
in, make a date with your love letters and spend some
time reflecting over how well you've have made it so
far.
7. Make It Personal
Send your partner an item of clothing or
something personal that they can see or wear daily.
It should be something that you use frequently that
will instantly remind them of you. Sometimes it's
the littlest things that can make everything feel
all right.
8. Framed Personal Pictures
There's nothing like seeing your partner's beautiful
face daily. Let your face be the first thing they
see each morning and the last each night. Make an
effort to send framed pictures to your partner
whenever possible. Try for a new one each month.
You can make it more creative as well by having each
picture reflect something about each month. For
example, in December have a picture taken with Santa
or in the snow. Take a
picture of you doing something you do every day.
Each month pick a new daily task to take a picture
of.
9. The Scent Of Love
One of the most effective ways to trigger an emotion
is through the use of scent. When sending something
to your partner, spray a bit of your cologne or
perfume on it. You can spray things like a
pillowcase, a stuffed toy, love letters or a piece
of clothing.
Remember, while long distance relationships aren't
easy, they can be the most rewarding. The time and
effort you take to cultivate your intimacy now WILL
transfer over into your future time together. The
main goal here is to make each other feel like you
are connected and involved in each other's daily
life. It is the number one success tip of any long
distance relationship. If you can achieve this, you
will be on the right path to a very successful
long-term romance.
