Couples
in long-distance relationships have stronger relationships in many
ways than those who live closer together, new research shows.
The
study in the Journal of Communication found that couples who lived
further apart reported feeling closer emotionally to their partners -
and sharing more - than those nearer each other geographically.
'You
always hear people say "long-distance relationships suck"
or "long-distance relationships never work out,"' Crystal
Jiang, an assistant professor of communication at City University of
Hong Kong.
'This
research provides compelling support for the opposite side.'
Around
three million Americans in solid relationships now live apart from
their spouses - a trend that has spawned the term 'commuter
marriages'
Those
in long-distance relationships interacted with each other a bit less
often, but - crucially - they reported 'experiencing greater
intimacy' than couples who were geographically closer.
Me, I know want. I want my partner where I can reach her IMMEDIATELY. Haba. But if it's because of 'Pepper', no shaking. Corn must land oh.
