How well long-distance relationships work
Living apart is not a guarantee the relationship will come to an end. Long-distance relationships have powerful emotional and intimacy dynamics.
- Research found couples living in different places have more stable and committed relationships, but when they do start living together, they're more likely to break up than couples who lived together all along.
- Long-distance couples were more likely to idealize each other.
- They tend to fight less since there was less to fight about and less time to fight.
- They were also more likely to avoid conflict and withhold their real opinions.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
