When you start dating someone, you always show them the best side of yourself. You are polite, you’re romantic and you’re creative. After marriage, people tend to become content and stop doing the things they used to do, like dating. In a long distance marriage its far to easy to let dates and affection slip away from the relationship. You must try harder to create ways to build trust, show affection and build closer bonds.  During my time being a trucker wife I have learned to get out my comfort zone. I like regular, low-key date nights, but I have learned to love those weekend getaways they are particularly fantastic! My trucker love adventure and does not do well following a plan. He is the opposite of me. I need a schedule, a plan to follow and routine. Well all he needs is his nature state…Spontaneous! He likes to get out in the world and explore. I rather go to the beach relax and read a book. But to to keep thing interesting I have to go outside my comfort zone. To do t

Being romantic used to be so much easier.  After a few years of marriage, and especially when you welcome children to the family, romance and intimacy seem to take a back seat. Adding a long distance marriage to your lifestyle well you must really wanted to test your love for your spouse.  All jokes aside you can't let the challenges of long distance relationships nor your kids get in the way of you building a strong married life.   When life gets busy, you need to get closer to your trucker.  You need to feel more connected than ever and remind yourself and your trucker about the magic that brought you to this place. I know all too well how life was so perfect until he choose to get into the trucking field. Now it takes all you can to keep for ringing each other necks due to miscommunication, assumptions, and separation anxiety that cause loneliness.   The reality is that romance takes a bit of effort when you become an insanely busy long distance couple.  It takes s

I was asked by a friend how do I show my hubby he is loved since we have an unconventional married life. I relied it was simple. We both show each other love all the time. Just because you have a long distance marriage doesn’t means you don’t interact on a daily basis. We do all of the normal things every other married couple do except we have to do them afar and learn to be clever in how we do it.   So to answer, “What is one simple thing I can do to brighten my spouse’s day today?”   What I do to show my husband he is loved and appreciated is telling him and texting him. Also cards, notes, and when I go to any store grabbing a gift just because. Most gifts pertain to something he needs for his truck. It’s hard to find parking at stores with a trailer plus truck stops are so expensive so I try to buy useful items. He is very grateful when I give him a basket full of snacks, hand sanitizers, work gloves, gums, mints, toothpaste, garbage bags, his favorite chocolate candy and s

These days between jobs, kids and the drama of everyday life, romance tends to get lost in the shuffle. As for a long distance marriage it seems impossible to manage.  Many couples say “Long distance marriages are   just too much work”, but it doesn’t have to be that way!  Some of the most romantic ideas are simple, short and sweet.  To prove it, here’s 3 things I do to spice up my long distance marriage and make my truck driver spouse feel special when he’s over the road and it only take a few minutes to prepare: Make Him Feel Special Things I like to do when I know he is scheduled to come home are fast, simple and sweet. First thing in the morning I send him my regular routine text of, “Have a great day, be safe, see ya soon and I love you XOXO! Promise of Things to Come Next, I like to tease him of things to come as well as make him feel special with sexy compliments. I like to do this by expressing my feelings in a unique way by writing my spouse a  love letter.

Give proper attention to your long distance marriage. Invest a little time each day just thinking about your spouse. Pour into your marriage the same as you pour into other areas of your life you are passionate about. Think sexy. Chances are if you do not feel sexy, others won't think of you in that way, either. Put on something sexy and wear it around your spouse, even if it is not at a time when the two of you can be alone. My hubby and I FaceTime a lot. I ensure these times I look my best. Anticipation is often more effective than the act itself. Talk about your fantasies with your partner; let them talk about their fantasies with you. If you are both comfortable, try them out! Don't feel embarrassed; after all, this is the person you chose to marry. You should feel comfortable sharing your thoughts. Next time you’re at the store pickup a card for your trucker and leave it on their pillow when he arrive home so he know your thinking of him. Pack a lunch for the

Take care of your mouth Everyone finds a healthy set of teeth and gums attractive, and not taking care of your mouth can be downright repulsive. Brush your teeth regularly with whitening toothpaste, floss every night and whiten your teeth with a Crest home kit twice a year. Exercise Add some fitness to your daily lifestyle. You should mix cardio with weight-bearing exercises, concentrating on doing reps that engage your major muscle groups (particularly if you're short on time). Plus, exercising will boost your confidence and give your skin a healthy glow. Eat and drink right Make a concerted effort to eat right and you’ll have won half the battle in looking your personal best. Your body is like a machine, and refueling that machine with high-quality fuel will profoundly affect how efficiently it runs in addition to how much fat you store, the clarity of your skin, and the strength of your hair and nails.

Below are ways to handle a long distance relationship. Perhaps you found your emotional stress is running high or at present you are in a long distance relationship but you are unable to handle it appropriately. Facing doubts and overcoming them can be the hardest thing you do, but, to gain happiness and self-confidence, it needs to be done. Start by: Being real honest: Whereas self honest to you are helper, it is equally vital that you be honest to yourself and yes, within your relationship.

Women can be very shy about behaving in a lascivious manner. She might feel like a fraud or feel silly. However, there are a lot of reasons why it is in your best interest to unleash the passionate and erotic wild side of yourself. The first and foremost is obviously that you both get hotter sex. You might have seen this side of yourself before and it faded, or perhaps you have no idea what you are capable of. Either way, here you’ll find some ways to help bring out the freak within. Buy a costume This works well for my husband and I. I give him a surprise every weekend he comes home. He doesn’t know who to expect me or the local nurse or the freaky shy preschool teacher. Some popular outfits include the good old risqué clichés: nurses, maids, corsets, and dominatrix styles. Choose something that is stylish, sexy, well-crafted, and is going to fit your personality. Stockings, suspenders and corsets all have good coverage and still have great sex appeal- if you don’t want to be to

To be honest with you there are a few more disadvantages than more advantages. First off there is the distance it self, you need to have complete trust with each other. If you have faith in your relationship then you will have to deal with missing your loved one. You will need to have open communicating be mature about your feelings and issues and let the other person know exactly how you feel. Another disadvantage is that you will be constantly thinking about the other person; sometimes these are good thoughts sometimes they are bad, but you have to remember that they are only thoughts. This is where the trust comes in. And sometimes you will be prevented from going out or doing things you want to do because you feel compelled to stay and talk with the other. You have to remember to get out and live your life. Do not become isolated because the other person is anti-social this is there choice. If you don’t live your life you will become deeply depressed and this will cause probl

Yes, and they work out great! I've been in a long distance marriage for 8 years. I’m married to a Truck Driver which is the same thing as long distance relationships. We are apart for months, weeks, and days at a time it depends on which cities his loads are in. I have four kids to rise on my own and my husband comes home on the weekends when he can. When he does he comes late Friday night. We spend all Saturday with him and he leaves out Sunday evening. It works for us because I’m very independent and don’t need a man around me 24- 7. Plus it keeps our married alive and we are so excited to see each other when he does come home. We talk at least 7 times a day texting, sending photos, and just talking to one another. We are best friends! It works for us but this life isn’t for everyone. My advice to you is Communicate in some way every day. Take advantage of the benefits a long distance relationship offers: more time with friends and/or family, no arguments over the T.V or un
