How to Plan a Visit With Your Long Distance Relationship Partner

By Deborah R.



Keeping your long distance relationship going through phone conversations, patience, and sheer will power is not going to be enough. Communicating via web cam is nice, but, you experience no sense of taste or smell. It is difficult for a long distance relationship to last without having physical contact with one another. By scheduling occasional visits, you will work towards keeping that fire burning!

Planning periodic visits to allow for some meaningful contact and quality time together is one of the best gifts you can give each other. Surprise visits can initially seem like a romantic idea, but, if your partner ends up being quite busy with work & not able to spend many relaxing moments with you, surprising your partner with a visit may not be such a great notion.

Some ideas of how to arrange a visit may include:

  • trying to meet somewhere in the middle can help decrease expenses and also seem like a mini vacation
  • if realistic, plan a weekend together every 6 weeks
  • alternate who visits who
  • arrange your visits beforehand, as this shows commitment and serves to carry the relationship forward
Unless an emergency comes up, it is important to not cancel your planned visit. Having an excuse such as needing to spend time with friends or attending a concert or game sends a message that you do not hold much credence in the connection between the two of you. You may need to take into consideration that you have both been used to living a single life, and allow time for some adjustment in sharing space with your significant other.

When you do visit each other, try not to become overly stressed about planning for everything you want to do. Simply enjoy your quality time together and do those things that will bring you closer together. These are the times that will be held dear to you and will help provide sustenance until you see other again!
