Long Distance My View

Long distance.  It is exactly how it sounds.  Especially when it comes to long distance relationships.  Lately me and my husband have been trying to learn how to have a long distance relationship due to his work.  I see him about once a week some times only for a few hours.    The last 3 months we have been juggling this has been some of the most challenging.   The thing about long distance, is that no matter the amount of skyping, snapchatting, txting and calling on the phone, the distance between you is long and far.  No matter how many times you contact the person far away, they are still far away.  You still sleep alone.  You still have practically different lives.  being "single" so to speak when it comes to daily decisions and cooking, yet "married" when it comes down to a heart issue or finances.  Its hard to identify with your partner when you really have no clue what its like over there for them to be alone.  
    The paragraph above is not a sob story.  Nor is it me feeling bad for myself.  fortunately I have learned and am learning how to handle these hardships.  God has been gracious to us.   The good thing about long-distance relationships is:  You start only noticing and focusing on how much you miss that person. and all their good traits.  You forget how much of a sinner you knew they were(because you lived with them and its hard not to notice).  You realize that they are a fellow human you really care about and you actually are excited to see.  You notice that your relationship though astrained from being apart, is a lot "hotter" and much more exciting(when you do get to see that person).  Even though there is not much physical aspects to it due to only seeing one another once a week, if that). There is a lot more learning from the heart.   All that Skyping, snapchatting, texting and calling is not just talking about the weather or sending sexy pics.  It is communication on overload.   Communication that may not have happened before because its easy to blow the person off for TV when you see them every day.  You realize that its hard but it gives you a new outlook on things when you don't see you Amor every day, and your checking your phone for txts from them every 3 mins.
