A romantic dinner at the most expensive hotel, shopping sprees at your favorite boutiques, world tours, extravagant gifts - don't they sound enticing? Yes, they do. If I were offered these things, I'd be more than willing to accept. However, these things aren't what makes relationships strong.

Many have been blinded by the gifts and material things that their admirers or lovers have been offering them. Sure, it's great to get something from them as a sign of their love but it does not have to be those expensive stuff. Relationships are truly expensive, especially the long distance ones.

In long distance relationships, you have to make them feel as if you were never gone - as if you are always by their side. One way that these couples show their love are through gifts. They think that giving the best gifts are in the form of expensive presents which i actually not true.

See the picture above? That was a picture from someone who wanted to surprise her significant other. The picture was taken before they had a big fight. She wanted to tell him that she missed the moments they spent together, the cuddles, the kisses, the chitchats. He missed all those moments as well. Although it was a simple thing, it made both parties happy. And, it didn't cost them a single centavo.

When you are in a distance relationship, the simple things that will make your partner happy is enough. Keep things sweet and simple. You may hear many long distance relationship advice regarding different aspects of the relationship, but please do not disregard this thing: KISS. In relationships, couples always KISS - keep it sweet and simple. You will be amazed at how far simple things can carry you.
