Americans celebrate Armed
Forces Day every year on the third Saturday of May. It is a day to pay tribute
to men and women who serve the United States' armed forces.
Many members of the US Armed
Forces are in long distance relationships. While the allure of these kind of
relationships is fodder for romantic comedies at the movies, in reality, long
distance relationships aren't always ideal.
Long distance relationships
require a lot of commitment from the soldier and their beloved. You can't take
for granted the physical intimacy that most couples share. Find ways to
communicate to your soldier every day, even if they aren't in a position to
respond. Talk about the future when you'll be together and be able to touch and
share again.
When you and your loved one
are reunited after a separation, make sure you make the most of your time
together. Stay positive and trusting. Avoid feelings of jealousy. Because this
time is so rare, take as much advantage as possible of your ability to be
intimate with each other when you are together.
Phone sex is a useful tool
for couples who are living far apart as it keeps you both vividly recalling
just how much you love and are aroused by each other. Get comfortable, start
with a casual conversation and then get graphic. Make sure you don't leave out
any of the dirty details.
Send care packages to your
soldier filled with treats. Include things in the package that will remind them
of times you shared together, like photographs and souvenirs. You should also
include edible treats and things that represent some of your shared interests.
Plan for the future. Make
plans to see each other again before you separate. Talk about things you will
do when your loved one is no longer in service to the country. Buy two matching
calendars in order to cross off days until you will be together again.
