The Ultimate How-To Guide on Surviving Long Distance Love

About The E-Book

We’ve written the ultimate ‘how-to’ guide on surviving a long distance relationship!

Over 128 pages, this book takes a deep look into the subject of long distance relationships and aims to help those who may find themselves in such a situation.

This is by no means a guide filled with scientific facts, statistics, or studies by Harvard professors, rather it is a collection of authentic real life experiences and observations from our personal experience having ultimately succeeded in closing the distance gap.

Each chapter explores a different aspect of how a relationship can be affected by long distance and includes topics such as marriage, sex, having children, meeting family and friends, and immigration issues.

Mike and I both give our insights into our experience dealing with a long distance relationship as we take turns tackling each chapter.

Who the Book is For

Whether you’re young or old, male or female, gay or straight, this book looks at the situations and emotions you may face should you decide to commit to a long distance relationship yourself.

It explores long distance love from your first contact to the moment you are together for good and find that distance is no longer an issue.

It discusses some of the common ingredients of a traditional relationship such as communication, trust, fighting, sex, marriage, and children, but focuses on each from a unique long distance perspective.

For anyone facing a long distance relationship, or even if you’re simply interested in the concept, it is our sincere hope that this book offers practical and realistic insight into what you might expect.

Our Story

I find it fascinating to think back to the moments which, under any other circumstances would have just been another ordinary, fleeting moment, but were actually so significant that they completely changed the course of your life.

A chance encounter with an American traveler at the base of Mt Kilimanjaro was one such moment in my life.

I’ve met many travelers on my overseas journeys, some who I’ve remained friends with, some who I’ve since forgotten, but only one whom I fell completely, and madly in love with.

Though with him in America, and me in Australia, most people automatically assumed this love story was doomed (and they emphatically told me so too); that the 12 hours we spent together at a bar at the base of Kilimanjaro would be a memory from Africa we would both have to leave behind.

Well, I’ve never been very good at accepting something just because other people say it’s something I can’t do.

Flash Forward

I didn’t exactly know when or where I was going to find my forever partner, but I never could have predicted it would involve a man who lived 15,000km away from me.

Ironically, I had told my last boyfriend (the one before ‘the one’) that I didn’t want to commit to an interstate relationship.

I wasn’t lying to him when I broke it off; I honestly thought that long distance relationships were too difficult and I wasn’t sure I wanted to put the effort into such an endeavor.

Flash forward eight years and I still can’t quite believe that Mike and I were able to overcome the extreme long distance and now find ourselves living together in Tasmania, having just celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary.

How Did We Do It?

How did we do it? I firmly believe that you can make anything work if you want to. It’s that simple. That’s the big secret.

BUT the roller-coaster ride that is being in a long distance relationship is definitely not an easy one, and the post we published in 2013 about how to maintain a long distance relationship has become one of the most popular posts on our website.

Having successfully navigated the 1am phone calls, the miscommunications, the extreme highs of seeing each other after so long, followed by the extreme lows of being kept in immigration limbo, we have compiled our experiences and advice into the ultimate ‘how-to’ guide.

Our ultimate goal with publishing this e-book? To offer other long distance couples the tools, knowledge, and the hope that your long distance relationship can be just as successful as our own.
