In the first book of the five books written by Moses which the is now commonly known as the book of Genesis. As we all know in the book of Genesis, Moses accounted to us the story of creation. It is there also where we found the account of how man and woman came into the whole picture of creation. Thus taking this into account we would realize that each person in this world has a role to play. I remember one friend would always remind me about this reality. And also each Adam has an Eve though for some their Adam or their Eve is not always a wife or a husband. Sometimes it is give themselves to a commitment to serve the poor , to serve souls, to remain on their biological family in order to take care of their parents etc.
How are we to connect this to long distance relationship then? Now I am going to focus on the man and woman relationship which is really the topic if this post. If there is an Eve created for every Adam then no matter how much distance or how much obstacle there is between them they will really find each other. As one song goes "love moves in mysterious ways, its always so surprising when love appears over the horizon...." Long distance relationship requires a lot of sacrifice. Each should also know how to for see. One should know how to appreciate and to noticed details. Unlike the personal or face to face relationship, in long distance relationship you do not see each other, you do not share the same environment, you do not see the reaction of the other.
In long distance relationship it is important to always be simple to say what you think, to be faithful to what you say and to trust each other. Without this virtues the relationship will never stay long.

The Art of Genuine Frienship
Just recently I encountered a post in the internet that says" if your friend stays for 7 years that friendship will last forever" .Well this can be proven true because seven years of friendship means a lot. Your friendship has already gone through and overcame many obstacles and problems tat test the genuineness of your relationship.
What is then the secret of genuine friendship which is also the secret of lasting friendship? People whom you always meet everyday, whom you work with 8 hours a day, whom you live under the same roof is not necessarily a friend of yours and even so not all of them are your friend. Frequent conversation, sharing the same interest toes not mean friendship. Genuine friendship are like any other form of relationship achieve only through time. Time measures the genuineness of your friendship, it is achieve little by little. Friendship grows it is not a magic trick. If your friendship wins every difficulty in your life them it is real. Many friendships has been broken when for example there is no mutual understanding or the give and take relationship between the parties. As all form of relationship , each party must have the idea that "I have come to serve not to be serve". In any relationship one should not seek personal favor, personal profit but to give oneself, it requires personal self giving. If each party is willing to give oneself to the others, to be all to all, then that relationship will last because nobody will be stepped upon, everyone will feel important and there's equality. Rain, wave and wind will try to break their bond but they evil remain faithful to each other. Not even distance nor lack of personal dealings can loosen the bins of their friendship instead it will tighten it. Even though two friends live away from each other, may it be the opposite ends of the world, if their friendship is genuine it will last because it is not based on material things nor on personal compensation but it stems from the heart and is founded on faithfulness, trust, true love and genuine care for each other.
