How to maintain long distance relationship an OFW point of view.

I am happily married person for 6 years now and to tell you frankly we know each other for only 7 years. We have 4 and half year old daughter and we lived together for only one and half years.

For me to maintain this relationship with very minimal misunderstading no quarell etc... are the following. I will share this to all of you because these are really true and works for us.

• Put God inbetween you. On the first day of our seminar before church marriage the lecturer told this to us and we made this for us. If both of you put God in between anyone of you will not do bad or cheat your partner. And you know that God is watching both of you.
• Totally accept each other and be ready to changed yourself if needed. We hear this many times " if you behave like this when we are boyfriends i will not marry you." Real love... loves the person both good and bad. There was no perfect person as in PERFECT! on your way there will be contradicting times for you but we should accept this and we should talk about it we should find the common place... we know that our wifewill be angry if we are always going to the beerhouse why do this always... and if you know that it was together with the jobs of you husband why be angry...
• Don't anticipate ... Talk about it... Ask if you have worries talk about it heart to heart. When We say yes on our weeding day its is an obligation and big RESPONSABILITY... We should make our partner happy. Constant communication is the key GOOD COMMUNICATION NOT A QUARREL.
• Audit yourself everyday. Did you do anything for this day to hurt or angry your partner? Try to do everything for happiness and contentment of your partner.
• And most of all HAVE TIME FOR EACH OTHER. Even we are far away try to have at least 30 minutes and have an effort to talk even on telephone or internet. Have your sexiness and humor as partner specially you husband and wife always there. A simple SMS message which cost you SR.0.45 in Saudi arabia and 1 peso in the Philippines it has a big impact to tell each other that you were ther for each other a simple i love you is enough.

This is my secret to have a happy family life and you for i have alredy plans for our silver and golden wedding aniversarry. God Bless you all wishing everybody a HAPPY NEW YEAR and A HAPPY FAMILY LIFE!
