Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber may have reportedly rekindled their off-and-on romance recently but that doesn't mean their love is suddenly picture perfect.
Gomez is reportedly having to spend lots of time in the UK on a promotional tour, while her long-time love Bieber is back in California, according to a report from Hollywood Life.
Long distance is tough for any couple but Gomez and Bieber seem to have things down to a science. Here are some tips on how you can take that distance and make it work for you.
Schedule time to speak and stick to it.
Communication can often get lost when you're busy in separate places. But it really helps to set time aside to speak with and, if possible, see your partner in a video call. This can be each week, each day, or however often you're comfortable speaking.
Setting this time aside hows that you're making that person a priority in your life. It will also make sure you keep that time open, so you're speaking at least that much.
Always have a visit planned.
One of the best piece's of long-distance advice I've heard is to always have a visit planned if possible. This doesn't mean you have to buy plane tickets ways ahead of time or spend hours agonizing over a calendar, but saying goodbye to them on a visit gets easier if you know right then the next time you'll see them.
Make sure you schedule time off with work in advance or simply have time blocked off in your calendar. This can make a huge difference in your mindset and how often you make the effort to see each other.
Be honest with each other.
If seeing photos of them with attractive people upsets you or a missed Skype date made you cry, let them know.
One of the biggest downfalls of long-distance is that you're not always there to read body language and to have these types of talks in person. So if something is really, truly bothering you, take a deep breath and let them know how you feel.
Look on the bright side.
So much about long-distance relationships are hard, but there can also be some great opportunities that come with it. Because you have so much time to yourself, you can devote time to loving yourself more, working on your own health, and exploring your interests.
Being long-distance puts you at a unique advantage because you already have someone you love, but you have the time and space to put yourself first and foster closer relationships with friends and family.
Have some sort of endgame.
You won't always be afforded this, but at some point, you should have some semblance of an "endgame" when you'll finally get to be together. Maybe this is simply just "well, I'd like to get another year or so in my job before I look for another one close to you" or "let's do a weekend in this town to see if it's somewhere we'd like to move together."
Knowing that you're making moves towards that goal will show that you're both making the other a priority and that you'll be together someday soon.
It seems like Justin and Selena are keeping these tips in mind, according to Hollywood Life.
"They have been staying connected daily by texting and Facetiming," an unnamed source told them. "Justin’s been trying to play it cool with Selena and not seem too excited or anxious about the status of their relationship, but deep down, she makes him really happy. Now that they’ve rekindled their relationship, he misses her when she is away and can’t wait to see her when she gets home."
A Facetime will never make up for some IRL time together, but it seems like Bieber and Gomez have the right idea.
