If they are serious they will do all they can to "shorten the distance".

My wife and I did long distance. We lived about 18 hours apart. We talked on the phone alot. I even asked her to marry me on the phone. I moved to her city and we have been married seven years. My advice is to make sure you can move before it gets serious. Someone has to make the sacrifice. Pray about it and be realistic. If you never plan to move then your partner will have to move so make sure they are willing to move. It can work out. I am proof of that.

Long distance love is the same as any kind of love. It works. But long distance romance is a whole
different matter. It seldom comes to fruit and is less likely to sustain the long haul. For every
relationship that comes to marriage, a hundred or more end. Marriage dont work most of the
time. People are flawed. Their emotions are flawed. Their brains malfunction. its rare that any
relationship actually works. people stay in a marriage cause its the evil they know compared to
the one they dont know. people get divorced and remarry and divorce and remarry. They have
kids and most often those kids call several men/women mom/dad. Id say its all a big risk...lol

It is possible, but very difficult, and often ends with a sour note.

It depends on the two individuals. If the "love" is more physical than emotional, there is little chance of success.
If the love is more emotional, then it might work out.

Like others have said, it depends on both persons involved, and the time apart.
The longer the time, the shorter the chance of success.

Be well. :)

I am not expert on this subject, but I suspect a long distance relationship could be a very good one.

i think that it is possible to have long distance love, i see my parents have long distance but finally they marriage. Just need commitment, trust, open, respect and just being your self and off course communication. The important basic is God is the center of the relationship. Hope it can help you :)

I believe it does. Me and my partner have been together for three years now and he has recently moved to Australia and has been there now for 10months and I'm in New Zealand. I must say it is difficult when there is no communication and when the relationship is not a 'God centered relationship'! But I do see gods love and guidance over our relationship and others in this situation. And I believe if there is communication and the focus of the relationship is on God... I don't see why the relationship won't last :)

Love for Jesus is a sort long distance love. :D

I think it depends more on facets like maturity, responsibility, and the seriousness of the love in the first place.

The distance is both a problem and maybe in one way an advantage:
On one side it is easier to deceive, on the other hand, the distance might make it easier to "keep cool" and think things through.

If the intentions are true at both sides I believe it is possible.
