| Oh, they can... but I've noticed that relationships are so much better in person... it seems to me that if anything, a long distance relationship should be a continuation of a personal one if there's no other possibility... I don't condemn them or anything, I just don't think they're the best choice (but then, God can do anything) |

| Kristina, long relationships can work. If you are both very committed. They usually fall apart because people crave other human interaction. Its really difficult when you cant have any hugs or kisses, you start to feel alone. |

Yes, long distance relationships can work, My parents dated long distance for like 8 years.
But I get where your comming from, I also want to know if me (personally) being in a lond distance relationship would work, but I guess it depends who the people involved are, like if you see each other at semester breaks, or call each other occasionally and email (i dont recomend txts, because if you txt constantly, you have nothing to talk about in person, and then it doesnt work...) but dont try to be in contact every single minute because it makes it more special when you do actually see each other... if its overseas, I would have no clue, unless somehow you could see each other every year...
I hope this helps... |

Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

| They work but not in the best way. usually the two people in the relationship get into a lot of fights and they don't ever really communicate with eachother about their lives and what they really wan't |

i'm not sure what you mean. could you specify? do you mean like, if the couple knew each other in person for a while, dated, and then one of them had to go to another state/country for a while? or do you mean if they met online or something and then decided to date, knowing they wouldn't be able to see each other for a few more months or even years?
if the first, i believe it can work. i have to. because, God-willing, i'll be going through that in a little over a year. i have a boyfriend now for over two months and he's going to be going to youth with a mission [YWAM] in hawaii after he's done his senior year of highschool next year, then to russia for his overseas work. and, assumedly, he'll be gone for around a year and a half. and i'm not sure when or how much we'll be seeing each other. but, if it's God's will for us to be together, i know it will work and i'll be able to get through it.
if the second example, no. online relationships never work. eHarmony anyone? a big fat no, from me. it's all infatuation and what you assume that person is like. then when you finally meet them, you're only riding on what you've assumed about that person for however many weeks/months/years you've known them over the internet/phone. once that infatuation wears off, even if it takes a year or two, the relationship will die. period. that's what i believe.

yeah it can work if you both have the commitment and respect for each other.
it doesn't matter how far you are from each other.. The issue is how willing are you to sacrifice for your love? It's hard but if you're really dedicated and you trust the person, it will be worth the efforts.. ;-)

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. - Ecclesiastes 3:1
that just basically sums up all i want to tell you, esther. you can live with the fact that he left, because it was in God's plan for him to. there's a season for everything in our lives. and then there's not. and we need to learn to accept that and trust in God and His timing for things. God doesn't test us, the enemy does. but God lets us go through it, with Him, so we'll turn to Him and learn that He's all we need.

| I just want to say that online relationships can and do work. I have a couple of friends who met online, and were friends for years and eventually got married. They made some mistakes, and got married too young, but they have stuck it out through some really rough times. They have 2 beautiful children, and as they grow up, their relationship is growing. It is possible. |

May the Lord bless and keep you, may His face shine upon you, and be gracious and give you peace. |

They can totally work! My dad proposed to my mom the second time that they met in person because they had such a long distant relationship previously. I thing that talking on the phone and writing to the other person really gives you a chance to know them. From what my mom tells me my parents would spend hours on end on the phone and they would write to each other a whole lot. I also think that being able to get to know someone in person is really good too. Well, hope that helps.
P.S.- my mom and dad have been married for 28 years now
God Bless |

YES!)
I believe they can!!! I believe that anything that God has appointed can work out! I've been dating this Christian guy for almost a year now! And yes, at times, I wont lie-it's hard. VERY hard...But I know that God has brought us together, and I don't doubt that at all! But it's the little things, like not being able to see each other on our one year...and things like that, that kind of eat away a bit...But my love for him and God covers up the distance that's between him and I. So in other words... They can work. You'll have pretty much everyone you know saying, "long distance relationships suck!" but the truth is-they've never been in one...and it's awesome being able to prove them wrong!
God bless you!

Thanks!
Yeah, It's hard, but it's worth the effort.
The hard thing for myself, right now, Is that I feel like God is wanting us to have some time off from messaging each other, you know, focus less on each other and more on God and what he wants... so it's hard, but if I do it God's way, it's bound to work out better! |
