It is comparatively easier to be in a relationship where the partners are in the same city. But when they are separated by distance, it can be pretty daunting for the partners to navigate their (long-distance) relationship. However, unlike the popular perception that long-distance relationships can be troublesome, it rather comes with a set of benefits.

While now knowing when will you see your partner next or missing the physical intimacy which you may otherwise have had, if the two of you were in the same city, long-distance definitely tends to get tough for many. But one must not forget that there are many underlining things that it teaches – and these are what the benefits of it are!

It gives you time to focus on other relationships: We all have been in relationships with our partners being in the same city. And we know that in those relationships, our focus was largely on our partners, and not the other non-romantic relationships that we have had (for instance: friends); we have been guilty of it at some point in life. However, in a long-distance relationship, that is not the case. When you are physically away from your partner, you tend to make a balance with other relationships in your life as well.

It makes you more independent: Another thing that most of us are guilty of having done in life is being dependent on our partners. While your partner would do everything to cheer you up when you’re low, it eventually makes you self-sufficient to fight your own battles and overcome a bad day. 

You value your time with them a lot more: When you finally get to meet your partner after days, weeks, months, or even years of being separate from them physically, whatever little time you spend with them becomes a lot more precious. You will value that time all the more and enjoy it to the fullest.

You become better at communicating: The key to a successful long-distance relationship is to communicate! Conversations are what mold your relationship the most, particularly when you are separated by distance. And when conversations are all that you have, you eventually get better at expressing your feelings to them.

Makes you more creative as a couple: Long-distance relationships are lived in the virtual world for the time you are away from one another. From texts to phone calls and video calls, these are the things that keep you connected. However, couples these days have started getting more creative than just indulging in normal conversations. They plan their virtual movie nights, and cookout sessions and also play games together (virtually of course) to keep things going, happily.
