My take? Be sure its a relationship that means a lot to you; such that ‘communication won’t become a chore you abhore, but a joy you enjoy’.

More often than not, distance does take its toll on relationships. Lack of a physical closeness, or even emotionally. It could begin to wane with time as some people begin to find it tedious to make effort to communicate with their partners who are far away.

My take? Be sure its a relationship that means a lot to you; such that ‘communication won’t become a chore you abhore, but a joy you enjoy’. (I just had to do that, I love playing with words; but you know this already). It has been known to work for those who kept at it; and its relatively easier to be in constant communication these days; what with emails, BBM, Whatsapp, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and all the various forms of social media out there. I have a number of friends and family who have married their ‘long- distance loves’. What if you were in a different-country relationship when there were only landlines and before the advent of e-mails? I doff my hat to the people who married ‘obodo oyibo’ husbands in those days and had to wait for letters via NIPOST and go to business centers to make and receive calls then (unu anwaka biko; una try well well)
