Possibly, a chance at a more solid relationship. Also, there are shared activities you can do online, such as Words With Friends, chess, etc. Also, send mini videos or pics often (of yourself, or the sunset, or your pet, etc.) so your significant other feels like they are a part of your life. As long as couples focus on each other, rather than (continually) on personal drama/problems, a couple has a good chance of making it.

Mind - I don't think completely badly about LDR. I even wrote a follow up about making them work out. When I wrote this, however, I never thought about soldiers and how hard it must be for you (our army in Argentina is small and never goes too far - just missed that!). LDR is and will always be a tricky thing. To make them work out and make the most is completely up to you - but, in all cases, that relationship has to be really special. You shouldn't go in a LDR if you are not completely sure how much in love you are. Lots of thanks for this comment! Mind – I don’t think completely badly about LDR.

But if you do believe you've found the right person, and that person feels the same way, then you may find that LDR to be worth it. The above poster makes an extremely important point though, killing the distance is an absolute necessity if you decide to maintain a successful LDR, and if you can't bridge that distance completely right away, then multiple trips to see each other are a must, and far more often than 2-3 times a year. Myself, I've made plans with my significant other to fly out at least every two months, as we're both trapped in our locations for the time being. It will be another two years before we can actually move in together, but we intend to try and make that time go as quickly and painlessly as possible. If there was no hope in seeing eachother often over such a long time frame, then yes, our LDR would probably have fallen apart by now. It's trust, love, and anticipation of our visits that keep us together, and all this stemming from a chance meeting on a website neither of us frequented usually. Also, being in the military myself, I know quite a few happily married couples that kept up LDR's before they were able to actually live together. Sadly, LDR's are in many cases the only means military folk have of entering or maintaining a relationship or even their own marriage, due to the long deployments we go through, as well as being stationed in remote locations at random. To put it frankly, we have to make LDR's work. So, even though many do fail, please don't think to badly of LDR's, because they can and do bring people together all the time. ~A faithful Soldier I agree with you that LDR’s can be hell, both mentally and emotionally.
