I have fallen into a problem that many people have had to deal with during some part of their life, some more than others have. Long-distance relationships are hard on the heart, hard on the soul, and hard on the self. Many men and women meet in places that neither of the two will ever visit again, such as cruises, vacations, and visiting far-away relatives for long periods of time.

In some cases the trip is too far to be made more than once or twice a year, and in other cases long-distance couples are torn apart by the monotony of letters, phone calls, or e-mails.
