Long distance relationships vs. close relationships Haley Patterson English 1060
Long distance relationship • A relationship between unmarried partners who could live in separate households, but identify themselves as a couple • Happen due to jobs, education, or military duties. • Long distance couples are more common to have better communication, maintain relationship stability and be more intimate with their partner. • Most common among young adults during their college years and with couples during military deployments.
A long distance relationship can help a couple to better communicate • Although not all couples are involved in a long distance relationship, they should always have space from one another. • When a couple is separate from one another then they communicate more than an ordinary couple. • They have different techniques to communicate such as electronics, social media or through email. • Communication among a relationship is the key to survival and among long distance couples it is stronger than a typical relationship.
In a long distance relationship a couple maintains relationship stability • Relationship stability is having trust and faith in their spouse among a relationship. • Having trust in their partner is key during a long distance relationship because of all the time spent apart from each other. • Communication is vital when maintaining relationship stability. • Couples have to communicate to have trust in their spouse. • Relationship stability would be higher among long distance relationships because they tend to be more committed and more focused on their relationship.
Intimacy is more common among long distance relationships • Intimacy is a feeling of being close with their spouse. • They have a friendship along with a romantic relationship. • Just as in relationship stability, a couple also needs communication to have intimacy among a long distance relationship. • In an ordinary couple, intimacy would be lower because of the amount of time the couple has already spent together. • Intimacy becomes higher with time spent apart from the spouse.
