I'm currently in a LDR tomorrow Feb 4 we will have 5 months.
I have to say that I've struggled so many times as we have a 12 hour difference so this has been challenging.
I thank you for these tips.. Most of them we have accomplished as praying for each other.
I certainly hope we make a dream come true!! ❤
This is so helpful. I'm in a LDR and we are going into our 9th month. I love him with all my heart, but this is so hard some days. We are both trying, but I definitely needed this motivation. Thank you❤
I’m elderly and have a long distance relationship. W talk every day and visit when we can. We’re 1000 miles apart. Some of your tips we already do but your other tips are helpful.
Me watching even though I’m not in a long distance relationship, haha (or any relationship for that matter)😂😂. Love from the UK❤️
🥰🥰
Hello can we become friends of long distance relationship
How to handle a busy British man?
being prayerful is the key ❤️🙏🏻 i love her and it is worth to change my whole life, to be with her. to let my second half fall to be one with her. thats a great point from the video and so true to me. this emotional thriving is keeping every thing together. so work, save enough money, learn her language. use the technology by texting in speed of light throug the world together, being humbe and very important maybe the most, be compassionful. solve problems amd talk as much as you can together about the day, send photos, selfies, videocalls. stay always connectet. Recognize yourselves as husband and wife. Show her or him that he or she is. take a break, tell them everything that happend. no no secrets!
Hey Kendra! Thank you so much for making this video! I met someone this summer and we both have a great conection. I was never ever a fan of LDR but I truly see how patient and kind the guy is with me and I can see how committed he is to continuing this relationship. Your video really helps and makes me realize that it's worth it. May God bless you and your husband 🤍
Thank you!! Very very helpful and constructive! Thanks a million! And indeed, praying is bonding, ideally when done together or separately
I was recently praying about my relationship with a female friend of mine to progress in one way or another.. A few days of praying later, I saw a RUclips short about long distance relationships. I had heard of them before but that sparked something in me to go looking for more. Your video has helped me understand what the commitment would be. She’s the most Godly woman in my life and I would love to spend my the rest of my life with her.. Now to see what she thinks.
I'm in exactly the same spot right now. Spending a lot of time in prayer recently 🙏🏻
Awww wishing the best hunny ❤❤❤❤
This is so compelling. I'm in a three month long distance relationship. Wished I had seen this before I started because I was doubtful it could work. But the daily talking first in, last out began to cement a relationship. It compelled conversations and those led to just revealing more about our characters. And not in an interview type way but just organically and I can tell she needs this to build real trust.
I'm grateful that we are in the same time zone and can talk and see each other regularly. I have experienced some of what you spoke about as far as feeling disconnected. We make it a priority to talk to each other first thing in the morning and pray with each other. It works.
Congrats yall! Thank you for this wonderful love story! Be amazing! GODISGOOD!
Thank you so much Kendra for sharing! Prayers for you & Nick!💗🙏🏽✨
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you 🙏🏻🫶🏼
Your voice is so soothing. Great tips. Thank you. Love from Kenia 🇰🇪
Great advice! Thank you ☺️
last time I had a long distance relationship my mom said it's just a friendship cause you don't see each other so there goes my family's support out the window lol
I agree with her. There really should be a term for it because boyfriend/girlfriend LDR seems loony to me. So how's yours going?
@@watamatafoyu what? lol it is a real relationship especially since we actually met in person to be sure of our feelings
So timely! This is super helpful for me right now, thankss Kendra 🙏🏽❤
I’m so glad to hear that!!❤️☺️
Thanks to Covid we haven't seen each other for 2 years. It was the hardest time in my life.
This video boosted mood immediately!
I love these tips. So good. Especially involving family somehow and praying for and with them. That creates an amazing friendship and bond. I would even say, especially as a Christian, do a Bible study with them
Great advice. Thank you
Expectations.. expectations.. very true 👍
My boyfriend of 4 1/2 years will be moving states away to be with his son. We are in our 40s. He’s worth the wait. I adore him. It’s going to be around 2 years of waiting.
I think going in the with no expectations on either end has kept me and my boyfriend from having many fights I think it is a good tule to follow for every relationship not just romantic ones
Thank you for this Kendra this is perfect timing! Sadly my previous ltr didn't work out for reasons... but I've unexpectedly met someone who is a state over from me and doing an even longer distance than before is a little daunting but I believe it's worth it and these tips are so helpful, also knowing you guys endured despite the challenges. Man it's hard but it causes you to lean heavily on the Lord ❤️
I was also in a long distance relationship before I met Nick, and that one obviously didn’t work out, but now way after the fact I can see why God let that relationship end and brought about a MUCH better one❤️❤️
That's encouraging to know and honestly I do not regret the lessons learned and love shown, I keep praying for wisdom and know God will direct my paths. It's obvious He brought you and Nick together in a sweet way and it must have been so hard with the distance but knowing you would put that effort in for eachother is something special and truly helps build trust I think. 💗 Praying continued peace for your heart in your season preparing for being a Mom 🤗
😊you have just gained a new subscriber...i like your content
Thank you for this video! :) in one of your tips, gave me a great reminder to pray for and with my boyfriend! not only because im in a long distance relationship but also because we have things to work on before we decide to get married!
I’m so glad this could encourage you!!💛💛
@@_KendraChristine :)
@@_KendraChristine my name is michelle lohde . my girlfriend oversea for 2 weeks i misses her what tips make it work with her i really loves her and dont want lose her what do and tell her ??.
I truly agree about to pray fro them and with them
Thank you.
This was so helpful. My boyfriend lives 2 1/2 hours away. My boyfriend doesn’t have a car right now and so it’s only me going to see him. Sometimes I just wanna stay here. I feel like the relationship would be easier had he had a car but I’ve visited him a couple of times. It’s like every time I go see him and I’m with him I don’t wanna leave.
Thank you for this video
You’re welcome!❤️
Hey Kendra, I’m not in a relationship and not even long distance relationship 😅 great advice.
Thanks Aubrey!! I'm glad you enjoyed it, even if you're not currently in a long distance relationship!
Thank you❤
🫶🏼🤍
Thanks for sharing this ❤🙏 I'm talking to somebody that's long distance
I’m glad it could be helpful for you! Long distance is definitely a challenge, but it’s not impossible ☺️
Thanks so much Kendra! This was perfect timing💛 I’m leaving for college on Thursday and I won’t see my boyfriend until Christmas😕
Yay! I’m so glad to hear that❤️
Thank you for an interesting video 🙂 God bless you and best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪
Thank you for watching 😃
This is timely I just began “getting to know” someone who lives 2 hrs away. And even tho that’s not a super far drive it’s still long distance and already takes lots of planning.
Totally get it!! Once Nick moved closer, he was still a couple hours away, and it’s definitely harder to plan! We would try and see each other at least once a week, which was helpful!
Pray together. Powerful tip
🙌🏼🙏🏻
idk, pretty useless for a bunch of people.
Yes. Lovely.
im in one at the moment but can't meet till I move country in September
ok you said movies night what about times zone if my girl stay new york & i stay in africa what to do?
Wow Nick is a lucky guy
U are right
I am planning on going on a long distance with my partner this year I think late this year but it’s for sch it’s Germany and he is in Nigeria I really don’t know if we can plan meet ups because I am planning once I get there we both work together so he will come over to Germany is that still ok
I had this video in my watch later and by the time I'm watching this we broke up already 😂
4:49 this is why the relationship failed. They resented me for something i was doing. They seemed annoyed but never gave me the specifics so I was just confused the whole time because nothing I tried seemed to solve their concerns
Awesome
Hie Kendra, single but love to arm myself in case I get into a distance relationship
So glad this could help you too!!
Hello
Thanks for your advice! I’m in a LDR with my American boyfriend while I’m from the Philippines… It’s hard but this video is encouraging ☺️
I’m so glad it encouraged you 💛
How do you know he is worth the wait ? 2 years and another continent
My LDR is a lot needier that I am , I’m exhausted
I didn’t mind it partner said distance too far
❤❤❤

Please I wonder if anyone can help me. But please don't bash me.
This is long so bare with me if you can.
I've been in a long distance relationship with an indian man. He lives in Ghaziabad india and i live in Lancashire UK . We are both in our mid to late 40s . His mother and friends know about me so that isn't the issue. We have been together 3 years and he mentioned to me other than female blood relatives. Then females and males can't be alone as neighbours will talk and point fingers. Unless there were 2 females together, so they can protect each other . If anything happened. Anyway I thought this was good. And so I understood if I were there in India we wouldn't be alone together. Which I was fine about.
Anyway ....
I knew he was looking after aunties house while she was away. And he mentioned to me the maid had asked him if he wanted her to make him some tea. Which brought up the conversation about being alone.
He then said he wasn't alone but had previously said it was just him and her. Then he said she had left the house when he was there. But came back to offer him tea. But he then added that it was only of an evening she offered him So this confused me. But I was asking if I couldn't be alone with my boyfriend, why could a maid.
He got mad at me, shouting down at me. Saying I'm sick in the head to even suggest that. And that he isn't F#cking her. I said I wasn't even thinking that. Then he was saying I'm controlling and toxic, and I'm the reason men keep secrets.
This hurt me badly. We have been talking about marriage before in the past and living together . But he ended it yesterday. I'm feeling awful. I said he's a narcissist and we both said leave me alone. Bit I thought he would of said let's talk
Did I cause this am I to blame for not thinking there's exceptions to non blood related men and women being alone .
I even phoned him back yesterday to try and calm him and ask him if he really thinks this of me, and he said he doesn't regret saying it, and yes, he does.
Please help. Im feeling numb and can't stop thinking about what happened
I'm sad this happened to you, any update since then?
@Sakura_gaoo after that I found out he had been messaging other half naked women throughout our relationship. And when I confronted him, he said I should be more like an indian woman and forget then comments and them naked photos. He also said I should work harder to break down his ego and if I cared I would do that.
I'm sick of his narcissist ways and so I blocked him. I'm now trying to recover myself from all of his toxic behaviour
I am indian.. and i will repeat - never go in long distance with indian. There are plenty of good guys.. but equally bad people .. Take care
@@pauline6005omg I hope you’re okay and I’m glad you blocked him, you deserve much better especially if he’s been messaging women and he’s asking you to ‘break his ego’.
F*ck his ‘be more like an Indian woman’ , this is why I hate most Indian men ( Indian woman here)
Here is a tip ...just don't do it
Not helpful, especially since I wouldn’t be married to my husband and have the beautiful life that we now live. Some people are worth it.
Ain’t no way I can tell my mom or family 😂 they would just disown me 🙂 not everyone can have that luxury & support 🥲 08:47
How do you know he is worth the wait ? 2 years and another continent
@Collen-Pearce Hi , mind asking you these questions ? Have you ever met ? Do you face time or chat regularly? Do you both share the same or similar beliefs, values, etc Is either one of you ever afraid of conflict? Who is willing to make the effort to cross the continent to meet ? Are you willing to be physically intimate? If not , is he willing to wait until you are ready ? Does either one of you have trust issues ? If so , please do address them . And gal, if your gut instinct ever tells you something is not right , step back or talk it out . Never be afraid to speak your mind but do remember to be respectful. It goes both ways .
Wishing you the best!
