Does a long distance relationship really do not work out, or does it depend on the couple how they want their relationship to end?
It is but true that you give a lot of time, effort, and emotional investment to attain and maintain a strong and healthy relationship. We do everything not to break it apart because we dream to have a successful and happy family. We believe that there is more security and assurance if, as a couple, we stay together, close and intact.
However, there are some couple who choose to be a thousand miles away from each other, to be able to provide the needs of their future family. They believe that it is one way of uplifting their financial status, which is also an important aspect in building their would-be family and raising their kids. But is it really worth the sacrifice? Does it really do good for the couple and for the family they are trying to establish? Or will it only lead the relationship to end up a broken one? Indeed, it would either make or break the relationship. Many would say that it would only bring the couple to look for somebody else because of that longing for love and affection. They say that communication alone is not enough because the physicality of a love one is also an important factor to be considered.
But I strongly believe that a genuine and steadfast relationship entails an enormous sacrifice. It doesn't only revolve in togetherness, physical affection, and feelings of love, but most importantly,it should rely on faith...faith on God and faith on each other. We have a goal -- to build a successful and happy family. Why don't we stick to that goal instead of allowing our fears to get in the way. It may seem unbearable at first, but as we get to realize what that big sacrifice is all for, the more it should draw us closer to our goal. Just like a puzzle, or a rubik's cube, you may have already built eighty percent of it, but sometimes there is a need to rearrange it and sacrifice a portion of that eighty percent to be able to fix the unresolved portion and make it to one hundred percent. I remember what a friend of mine used to tell me, 'we cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are.'
