Your Long-Distance Relationship Doesn't Have to Suck
Long-distance can feel like a never-ending series of "I miss you" texts. But with a little creativity and the right tools, you can do more than just survive the distance—you can thrive in it.
Let's be real: long-distance relationships can be tough. You're living in different time zones, your schedules are a mess, and sometimes it feels like you're dating a person who lives in your phone. But it doesn't have to be a waiting game.
Instead of just counting down the days until you're in the same city again, focus on building a life together, apart. Schedule virtual date nights (and actually put them on a shared calendar so nobody forgets). Watch a movie in sync. Send each other surprise deliveries. Create a shared playlist of songs that remind you of each other.
In Couple Tools, you can create a shared list of "Future Adventures" to plan all the things you'll do when you're finally together. You can leave each other notes, share photos, and keep a running log of your shared life, even when you're miles apart. It's about being intentional, creative, and remembering that you're a team, no matter the distance.
