I have some advice for you
If you ever think you’re going to enter into a long-distance relationship, it’s not for the faint of heart, but understand and know this profoundly
You have to communicate if you want to work, and you have to make time for each other
Celebrate your ups and downs together
I would tell you before marrying my husband, Umair, that I was not entirely fond of the phone
In any form
What changed for me is that I treasure each moment that he and I have, and so I gloriously look forward to every phone call that we have, every text, and every interaction because it is precious to me, and I value our relationship
So my advice to you
If you’re going to be in a long-distance relationship, learn how to communicate
Make communication matter
Make your spouse a priority
Make being faithful to them a part of that commitment
I love Umair, and I treasure him
I miss him in the short times when we’re not together
I profoundly miss his touches because he is mine, and I am his
I miss my husband
I have written probably 300 or more hallmark card love letters to him
Like PHYSICALLY written
And I have the love letters he has written me
PHYSICALLY written to me
He gave me a broken zipper early in our relationship, and I carry that, too
Missing my husband massively tonight
