hey everyone,
this is a question on how you feel about long distance love. i'm one of those people who dream it works but does it really work? i know it's kind of mean to make them move out of their country just to be with you so i think it's better when you and your friend is older like 18 and finish high school. i have many friends a few said they would move to the u.s. but it will be around 2005. one of my friends is trying to go to byu in hawaii. what if you fall in love with the person. but it's better to talk to a lds friend since not alot of them lie to you. there isn't alot of members where i live so i try looking for friends. i would move to a different state but i kind of feel sad leaving my family my grandparents live in the same state. and plus i don't have a job and i need to go to college. but i worry i wouldn't have enough money i guess that's what you friend feels like. now tell me what you feel about this.
-Joe

Sure, you can love somebody from a distance. I love a lot of people who live a long ways away from me. My Mom and 2 sisters live in Texas, my Dad lives in Arizona, and I live in Oregon. We don’t see each other very often, but when we see each other it’s nice.
Or were you taking about something else when you asked whether or not long distance relationships will “work”?

The relationships will not. You need to see each other fairly consistently or even the holiest of people will veer off and see other people in their area. Would a long distance marriage work? And if it doesn't, what would make you think that a relationship would work?

Been married 5 and a half years now.... I met my wife in an lds chat room. We had a long distance relationship for 6 months. But the main reason that it worked was that we were best friends first.... then it moved from there... with a little encouragement from me ...
We now have a health 4 year old son, and couldn't image life without each other... soooo to answer the question... Yes long distance relationships can work out....

Enlightenme, I'm sure we're all wondering this, but do you live with your husband? Or do you and your husband live in seperate cities? If not, then it's hard to say you're in a long distance relationship and that it works out. We need proof that a long distance relationship can last indefinately. As in your case and my theories, long distance relationships are unstable, and will either end or in your case, turn into a non-long distance relationship where both parties live close by each other or together.

DisRuptive1, I guess I am not understanding your point. Anyone who gets into a long-distance, romantic type of relationship is hoping that it will end in marriage, and then the two will live together permanently. Nobody hopes for a long-term, long-distance, romantic type of relationship that just keeps going on and on and on without any type of culmination.

That's what I was thinking too.
