How to Survivify: A Long-Distance Relationship
In a committed relationship, there isn't much that can drag one person away from the other for an extended period of time. So if there is something that has come between you, geographically speaking, it must be extremely important -- such as college, graduate school, work, military deployment, or some other serious obligation.
