Loving from a distance is the toughest thing to do while in a relationship. But with the advancement in technology, this distance can be bridged with just a click. Take a look at some of the greatest apps to make your long-distance relationship work.
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
― Khalil Gibran
In a long-distance relationship, love is tested at the cost of your mental sanity. As this begins to take a serious toll on you, it hampers your relationship too. However, there is a serious reason why we need to be ever so grateful to our smartphone applications. Today, a smartphone is not just a phone, but an extension of oneself. It keeps you entertained, informed, alert, and connected to the world you care so much about.
Today, these very applications are about to salvage relationships too. They say, distance makes the hearts grow fonder, but little do these wise men realize that distance can also be the cause of drifting away from one another. However, there are simple ways by which you can revive that lost hope in your relationship, rekindle the romance, and draw strength from each other once again. All you need, along with these apps, is a little time to dedicate to the love of your life. So, let us take a look at some of the helpful apps to reignite the dying embers of your relationship.
Avocado

You can also personalize your emoticons, which are called ‘photocons’, take quick notes, and save personalized template messages.

101 Ideas to Make Happy Relationship
Things rarely work out the way you want them to. This is why getting a fresh perspective on things every once in a while is important. This application helps both the parties to understand each other in a different light. It can give your relationship a new direction, filling it with the missing strength, and giving the two of you a renewed hope to deal with your relationship positively.
A busy schedule, urgency, and pressures to carve careers have left no time for romance and relationships. It is, thus, getting increasingly difficult to spend time with those people for whom we work so hard. Yes, virtual love was never the idea of living a romance, but the rules have changed now. Creating the ‘new normal’ by accepting the technologies to bring us closer is the only way of salvaging our relationships. Today, this remains our only solution to growing up with kids who are far away, husbands who are constantly traveling, and wives who are setting up homes for their families to come back to. Make use of these applications to drive away those moments of despair, when you need love the most. Get closer with the privacy of these apps to build on the relationship you had always wanted.
