But relationship experts say there are advantages of having a distant relationship. Compiled by Beliefnet, here are a few positive things that happen in a long-distance relationship.
Trust: You will find if you really trust your mate during this time, and if you really want to be them for the long haul. Also, you will find how strong you are during this time and have the option to focus on others and building yourself.
A Time to Appreciate Them: Distance can be hard, but this will make you appreciate them even more, regardless of the bad times.

Get Creative: Being apart will make you think of creative ways to be together, have fun, and plan exciting trips or times together. It will keep you positive during times when you miss them.
It Will Not Be Boring: When you see each other it’s never boring. This can keep the passion alive in the relationship and keep it fresh.
Being Spontaneous: You will become more spontaneous and think outside the box in regards to intimacy. This could be a surprise visit, or kidnapping them for lunch time fun.
Planning: The key here is having an exit plan. Meaning, both of you decide when the other will move closer or meet in the middle geographically so you are no longer separated by distance.
