Dating, Love & Relationships Around The World

I ran across a great little piece at The Blog Fathers. The post poses a sensitive question for most couples - will jealousy rear its ugly head by your having a friend of the opposite sex?

Many couples must endure long distance relationships. Some have met on the internet and maintain their friendship through emails and an occasional visit. Many are apart due to time constraints, in particular work related separations.

Often these separations are not only physical separations, but emotional ones as well. A new job will often place a partner in another “zone” for a period of time as the new responsibilities become an all consuming focus.

It seems unreasonable to expect yoursoulmate to become a social hermit because you are separated by distance. If your marriage isn’t strong enough to overcome an occasional drink with someone of the opposite sex, or a conversation for that matter, you may need to re-evaluate your priorities.

With 38 years of sometimes not so wedded bliss behind me, one of the cornerstones of my marriage as been it’s openness and honesty. Can you say the same?
