Making Long Distance Marriages Work

Normal marriages – with this, I refer to married couples who married for love and are living under one roof – have an alarming mortality rate and you’ll know this just by reading the newspaper and learn how the rich and famous go through divorces almost as quickly as they can say “I do”.

If the rich and famous, with all their material possessions, still have a hard time making their marriages work, imagine how much harder it is for ordinary people who also have to contend with financial problems besides the all important issue of who’s going to sleep on the right side of the bed. And more importantly, how can marriages work if it’s also going to be a long distance relationship?

Marriage is all about helping each other, growing with each other and raising a family together. When you become a part of marriage – all decisions must come under the heading of “we” and never “I” or “you”. Marriage is after all a union of two people and it’s of the utmost importance never to forget that the marriage can work only if both of you are exerting equal and mutual effort.
