How Did We Gotten Through Our Long Distance Relationship and Engagement?

 Good Morning, or Good Afternoon, or Good Evening, 

this post should take approximately three minutes to read from start to finish. 

First and foremost; today marks three years ago when Jacob and I have started dating as boyfriend and girlfriend. We have been together for three whole years, we have achieved so much over the past three years. Where did three years go? Jacob was twenty-two years old, and I was twenty-one years old at the time.

Have you ever thought about how did Jacob and myself gotten through our long distance relationship? 

Have you ever thought about how did Jacob and myself gotten through our long distance engagement?

Over almost the past two years; I constantly kept reflecting time to time about how Jacob and myself gotten through our long distance relationship and our long distance engagement. Although I know that this post would be very similar to the post that I have shared in June last year. 

“I found that I missed him the more he was absent from my life,
and the more I missed him, the more I loved him.”
 – Donna Lynn Hope.

~ We contacted each other a lot - I really do mean constantly, we always talked to each other every morning when we wake up, and every night before we went to sleep. 

~ We had constant and persistent couple prayers - we were able to take turns, and sometimes we accidentally forget who's turn it was.

~ We had couple scripture study together most times - Jacob always helped me to understand some verses that I did not fully understood prior to our scripture study, and I was truly grateful for Jacob's help because I was able to learn so much. 

~ We constantly kept ourselves busy with our lives such as we were able to spend some time with our immediate relatives, and we were employed and we worked a lot of hours (well, Jacob is still employed). ~ We always have complimented each other which always made us feel loved, and good about ourselves. 

~ We mostly agreed about a lot of things which was always great to be on the same page mostly. ~ We went well of showing each other Christlike attributes to one another such as; we showed patience with each other, we always have shared compassion with one another while we were listening to everything that we both have said, we cared about each other, we supported each other, and so forth. 

~ We really gotten to know each other very good by asking each other and answering a lot of questions by using a book as a guide to help us to know what to ask each other and that book is called "350 Questions LDS Couples Should Ask Before Marriage" - Shannon L. Alder. The book has covers the following topics; - Spiritual - Family 

- Finance - Expectations - Your Relationship - Past History and Trust - Character and Self-Worth - Love, Intimacy, and Communication - Social Media and Technology. 

We would strongly recommend that book for any relationship couples, any engaged couples, and any married couples to make a purchase of that book and start asking each other of the questions from the book. I know 

that it would be very good to get to know their partners. 

~ We did not ever give up on each other - even during difficult times, we constantly done our best to always be there for one another. I know at times, that there has been tough times of not being with each other in person but we always knew that we can always contact each other at anytime whether it was late at night or early in the daytime. 

Stay Tuned until next time.
