Set a date. Planning for a visit gives you both something to look forward to. Visits can be such a wonderful boost for a long distance relationship. Frank and I know how much an expense visiting a long distance boyfriend/girlfriend can be. Plan for the expense. Save up money. Split the costs. Whatever it takes, know that it is always worth making the trip to see the one you love. But be reasonable – make sure you can afford a trip before you spend all your savings.
