Does distance in a relationship make hearts grow fonder … or fonder of someone else?
Definitely there are more challenges to having a successful relationship when there is a separation but many couples have been able to do it successfully and others can as well.
Here are 10 tips for growing and maintaining a healthy relationship even when separated by many miles and long periods of time.

How will you deal with attractions to others?
How will you handle loneliness?
What about time alone with co-workers of the opposite sex?
