The most important long distance relationship statistic is that currently, there are over 14 million (yes, I say million) couples in the United States who are in distance relationships. This is an important stat to keep first and foremost in your mind because it gives you the hope to invest in your dream of keeping your relationship strong and satisfying until you can live in the same city. After all if 14 million people are doing it, then the chance that they are happy and fulfilled in their relationship is pretty good.

Now, watch the video below for another important statistic that you need to be aware of in order to go the distance. After that, read the text below to learn how to overcome this stat which is not as positive as the one above. Still, forewarned is forearmed, as they say in the military, which means that if you prepare yourself to face this challenge, you are much more likely to overcome it.

The long distance relationship statistic that you learned in the video was that nearly 70% of couples who do not talk about their expectations for behavior break up within the first year. Since you do not want this to happen to you, talk about these stats with your partner, or better yet, send him or her to this page.

Talk about what you think is important in maintaining your LDR and create guidelines (not hard and fast rules, but guidelines) regarding expected actions and values, such as honesty, fidelity, frequent communication and traveling to see each other.
