Almost 14 million couples in the world are believed to be in long-distance relationships, with the average distance between each couple being at least 200 kms. You may wonder why these people would be willing to put themselves through so much when they could easily find someone in their own city to be with. The truth is, while at least 70 per cent of all long-distance relationships fail, there is still a chance that some of these people would be among the remaining 30 per cent. And that’s a good enough reason for anyone to want to make it work. All you need is love, along with these 14 reasons that make being in a long-distance relationship so worth it!

Because of the nature of your relationship—where you get to meet each other only once in three months, or once a month (if you’re really lucky). And so, you understand that this limited time is all you have and you want to make the most of it before it runs out. You’re on a ‘No-Holds-Barred’, ‘No-Regrets’, trip where you want to open your heart out to her, let her in and enjoy every precious minute spent with her.
5. You Get Your Own Space

Often, we find ourselves struggling not to lose ourselves in a relationship. That never happens when you’re in a long-distance relationship because you always have enough time for yourself. In fact, you have mastered the art of balancing your life with your love so well, you don’t see why others whine. You get your own space to do the things you want without turning on her, or getting tired of her. You have fixed timings for calls and video chatting and you text whenever you can, and no one is hovering over you the entire time. You know what freedom feels like.
6. You Do Corny Shit

You observe how many of your friends have broken up and entered into more relationships over a span of a year while yours is still going strong. You’ve weathered distance—which, really is the hardest—arguments, insecurities, time and financial crises together and you’re still together, with no signs of breaking up any time soon.
