Is distance not an obstacle to relationships?

 Today you can live in different cities and build relationships: in the era of video chats, only the screen separates us from each other. In extreme cases, several hours of flight. But will the feelings withstand physical separation?
Eternal honeymoon
Despite the obvious tendency to increase the number of such unions, society does not believe in the possibility of any long love at a distance. Especially in its usefulness. But how do you fall asleep every night? And go to the country together? And to buy products in the supermarket? Not to mention the children to raise them without the personal presence of one of the parents is definitely worthless!

56.6% of those polled by the magazine consider distance relations less happy and stronger than usual. However, research results show otherwise. So, a group of American psychologists conducted a survey in which 1142 men and women over 20 took part they were both in ordinary and remote relationships and it turned out that there were no fundamental differences in the two models.

By the degree of intimacy, emotional involvement, the quality of communication and even the level of sexual satisfaction, couples living under one roof did not surpass those who love at a distance.
For those who trust
But distance relations are unlikely to suit anxious natures and those who are used to dissolving in a loved one. This model is more likely for those who know how to trust and do not torment themselves with jealousy, and their partner by constant calls, the psychologist believes.

“Greater confidence contribute to the developed rules of the game. For example, call up at a certain time of the day or week. If you have a meeting planned, try not to let it break: a too frequent change of plans raises a question for the partner whether it is important, and whether it is needed at all. But if this happened, make it clear to another that he is dear to you and that you are no less upset than him. ”
