I am undecided on that. My sister was in a relationship for a year and a half and only 3 of those months weren't long distance. It was very hard and ended up failing because of unfaithfulness on her ex's part of the relationship. There can be trust issues in relationships anyways, and being in a long distance one just seems like it would add on to it.

I think it depends on the type of relationship. For e.g if you are married this could be extremely hard. It is also a bad idea.When dating since you are now getting to know each other it could be a good idea to see what is really there. Alot of people even christians can still fall into the trap of infatuation.
My husband and I were apart on and off for some years going to school separately. WHen we finally settled down and had a kid I realised he had changed or should I say I changed. I got baptised he remained unsaved... He is now lives with another woman. He seems to be extremely happy because she is very wealthy, she introduced him to partying etc. It is a new life style for him that he now likes.The things he use to like about me are now lame to him. I don't party,drink have never kissed anyone besides my husband etc. I think it is easier when you are miles away from each other to be lead into temptation. I hope this helps somewhat.

Well I was in a long distance relationship it didnt work out, it was my fault though i wsa going through some challenges of my own and instead of sharing it with him I kept it to myself I grew out of love with him ( so I thought then but i was just pushing everyone away) and ended the realationship.
On a more happy note my sister was in a lond distance relationship and it worked out well they are married now with a son. So I guess if u want something to work out you have to stick to it and communicate alot.

Just remember that it's not a real relationship until you sit down and look into the other person's eyes and get to observe their table manners. I think the internet has introduced a level of fantasy that we need to be careful about because this stuff is largely (if not entirely) fictional.

And yet I speak on behalf of my brothers from another planet when I say that we like earth women very much. Your smells and lack of tentacles and webbed feet are intriguing to us.

Dating someone involved in the military tends to be long distance. I've known couples who have waited years between times pf seeing their loved one again.

Meeting local and then going long distance due to circumstances such as the military I would not call long distance dating. Obviously they reached some level of commitment beyond dating for the relationship to continue while someone has left for war.

I agree, is not! besides how do you know if she is gonna be thinking only in you and no dating others guys...

That's always a temptation, to take the potential mate that's here and now, rather than hold to the person far away. This reason alone is enough to make people think twice about such a relationship.

It's one thing to get to know someone in person, and then to be seperated by distance. But to meet at a distance and date that way is not so good.

There is only one way to get around sexual temptation:

Ezekiel 36:
 25Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.


Only by receiving a New Heart from God that hates sin and loves righteousness will enable us to get around sexual temptation. Romans 7 Christianity will never result in victory. Thank God He never wanted us to stop at Romans 7, but gave us this promise, that "we shall keep His judgements, and do them."

I personally think tentacles would be nice, but that's just me.

I dated this girl long distance once, and when I went to visit her, we went out to eat. She first ordered a Coke and then when the waitress brought the Coke my g/f changed her mind and told her to please take back the Coke and bring her Rootbeer instead. Boy was I disgusted at that! How rude!

Well There arent many soundly born again women where I live so a long distance relationship would have to do, if the Lords hand is on the relationship it will work.

Personally I stay away from LDR (Long Distance Relationships) because everytime I try it out it doesn't go too well.

I think that long distance relationships can work especially with the constant communication we all enjoy. Between text messaging, cell phones, internet, etc. you can really get to know someone. Then when you see each other it is that much more special.

I believe that there are to many what ifs in a long distance relationship..... especially if you have never really met... such as...

What if hes really a dinosaur.
What if he wears adult diapers
what if he has Coprastastaphobia Fear of constipation
What if his left arm is longer than his right

These are all things you need to consider
