Make Your Long Distance Relationship Work!


Hi! We are Michelle and Frank, authors of The Long Distance Relationship Workbook and Making Your Long Distance Relationship Work.

If you are in a long distance relationship, then you have come to the right spot!

Home of the longest list of ideas and activities for long distance relationship couples to do from a distance, Loving From A Distance was created by my husband Frank and I to help others in long distance relationships like us (you can read our story here). Here you will find advice and tips on how to make your relationship survive the distance, a supportive community of fellow long distancers, inspiring pages including true LDR stories, as well as other resources relevant to couples in “geographically challenged” relationships, separated by miles and hours.

If you found this site because you have been questioning whether or not a long distance relationship can work and are looking for an answer, the answer is yes: LDRs can and do work. Frank and I are just a single example; there are many more if you just look around our site. Just browse around our pages and the Long Distance Relationship Community and you’ll find the inspiration you’re looking for!
