User Reviews about Long Distance Couples: An Activities Handbook for Strengthening Long Distance Relationships
My husband is currently overseas and I felt like we were growing as individuals and growing apart as a couple...The phone calls turned into basically polite chit chat and we both felt like we were losing the connection...This is one of the books that I ordered to read and try to think about things from a different prospective (aside from "Why is this happening?") -- Wonderful!
What a wonderful resource. I have looked everywhere for something that would give me lots of ideas of things I could do to stay in touch. This booklet was filled with page after page of ideas. I probably wouldn't do all the ideas but lots of them are just perfect for my situation. Here are just a couple that I loved!!
Buy a copy of the "Person of the Year" issue of Time magazine and past a picture of her on the cover. Write an article about why she should be the person of the year and send it to her.
Buy a box of chocolates. Under each chocolate place a short note.
Every night for a week write down 10 things you appreciate about her. By the end of the week you will have written over 70 things. Send the list to her in a romantic card.
Before you leave give him a jar containing the same number of M&M's as days you will be away. Instruct him to eat just one a day in your absence.
Send a "Heart Attack". Cut out heart shaped pieces of paper and write on them the things you appreciate about her. Place all the hearts in an envelope and send them to her.
Have a favorite photograph of the two of you made into a jigsaw puzzle. Send her a few pieces with every letter.
Research his family tree. Send what you find to him.
Write a letter as if you were stranded on a deserted island. Place the message in a bottle and send it to her.
Make a list of 5 things you can do to be more unselfish in your relationship and then DO THEM!!!
Go on virtual dates together on the Internet. A few ideas include attending concerts, going to the zoo or museums.
Use a video camera to give him a "tour" of the place you are staying and the things you do during the day. -- I loved it!!!
I am a graduate student in Marriage and Family Relations. In one of my classes we just learned that for relationships to stay healthy the couple needs to have 5 positive interactions for every negative interaction. It's kind of like a bank account. You want to make more deposits than withdrawls. Being in a LDR is like one big long continous withdrawl from your relationship bank account.
This booklet contains lots of creative ideas of ways you can make deposits in your LDR account to keep it healthy.
I highly recommend it for anyone in an LDR who wants to keep their relationship healthy. -- Great Ideas To Strengthen Your LDR
