Is Your Long Distance Relationship Serious?
In this concise segment, Matthew Hussey outlines practical signs that indicate a long‑distance relationship (LDR) is serious and viable. He emphasizes three core criteria: (1) a palpable sense of progression and momentum, meaning the partnership feels like it’s moving forward rather than stagnating; (2) mutual intentionality, where both partners are deliberately working toward a genuine, committed relationship and are openly receptive to each other’s life stage; and (3) concrete plans that define an end‑point to the distance, such as a clear timeline or upcoming meeting, providing a “light at the end of the tunnel.” While these signs don’t guarantee perfect compatibility, they collectively suggest the relationship is more than just long‑distance communication and is heading toward a shared future.
