Taboo relationship practice: Being in a long-distance relationship

Contrary to popular belief, long-distance relationships are a good thing sometimes. A successful relationship that’s long-distance is more than achievable and, at times, can be beneficial, according to a dating expert.

When you lack the sense of touch and are only left to hear and see each other through a screen, you’re forced to express yourself with words, strengthening your communication skills and becoming more articulate about things, including your love for one another.

The long-distance part of the deal might only be for a while once you choose to or can live closer together. But the benefits of that distance will undoubtedly be long-lasting. There are some standard-issue “rules” that, when applied to a relationship, can help make it healthier.

This includes things like spending quality time together, eating dinner together, and so on. But if something isn’t working for you and your mate, don’t be afraid to toss the rules out the window. Sometimes, things that seem “taboo” could be just what your relationship needs.
