A Guide to Long-Distance Relationships

We’re excited to share Love Across Oceans, a heartfelt and practical guide for couples who are learning to love across distance.

Being apart challenges you in many ways. It pushes you to grow in communication, trust, and patience. At the same time, it can strengthen your connection in ways that being together every day never could. In this guide we talk about how to:

• Build trust and stay close even when miles apart
• Work through jealousy, cultural differences, and emotional ups and downs
• Create a shared vision for your future together

Whether you are just beginning your long-distance story or getting ready to close the gap, this guide offers support and inspiration from two people who have been there.

Why We Wrote This Guide

When our relationship began between Amsterdam and Bogotá, we learned very quickly that long-distance love is more than just waiting and hoping. It takes creativity, commitment, and an open heart. This guide is filled with personal stories and practical advice that grew out of our own journey, written to help others walking a similar path.
