Used to be reserved about it but I think remaining open to God's possibility has expanded my consideration towards it.

Hola, considero que todo depende de el nivel de esfuerzo y compromiso de cada uno para que una relación a distancia funcione.

I don’t do anything without consulting the Lord. If He gives me the go ahead, I’ll do it. He knows BEST and I know it won’t fail. ✨

Yes of course... I'm open to long distance relationship. it takes maturity, commitment, determination and understanding from both partners to make it work. There will be lots of communication, video call dates and so on.. It creates an opportunity for the both partners to miss each other and to value the time they spend together... I'm totally open for it..

Yes, as long as we communicate every day and have a clear plan of meeting within a year. I believe faith without action is dead, and when the time is right, the Lord will make it happen.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. If a relationship is meant to be nothing can stand in the way of Gods will….

Just thinking about how Rebecca travelled a long way to meet Issac. When it comes to distance and other factors, I hold onto one of the promise as found in Proverbs 3:5-6. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. My name ain't Rebecca, I'm just me, but I too would love without borders and relocate for love

Love your wicked sense of humor and openness to travel for love or for the love to travel which makes long distance relationship so much easier if she's not able to travel to you but is willing to relocate to be with you. Feel free to go on an adventure and visit, Cape Town, South Africa.

Long distance relationship? Of course, when it is God's purpose, there is nothing and no one that can stop it. I would like to find an American wife, start a family and serve God. It would be ideal.

If it's God's plan, He will open doors to let you close that distance (in His timing.) If not, either distance or something else will cause it not to work out. Less important, but still important, I think both need to be able and willing to relocate, which should be part of the Define the Relationship conversation.

I am open to it because I want to learn about someone first and have them learn about me as well. At times I think I need to look to the ends of the Earth to find someone only to overlook someone closer. I’ve made mistakes and have missed out yet I still am looking. Now that I’m older finding someone close feels harder. Looking for someone I can share my life with, not just a quick fix for loneliness.

I actually prefer long-distance relationships. It helps avoid compromising situations, and I think it keeps things safe from temptation for both of us. Plus, I like the idea of really getting to know someone on a deeper level before even thinking about meeting in person.

I love your family values. What if she is willing to relocate once both of you invested in the relationship. Sure it's going to be tough but so worth it at the end once you get together. Besides your kid would gain the opportunity to get to know about a new culture and such of another country and not as a tourist would. If she is willing to relocate would be open to love without borders? Yours Sincerely H

@Just Me Hayley long distance for me would be interstate.. definitely not international. Unless they had roots in my country I wouldn’t even attempt or ponder it for more than a moment.

I think, long distance relationship can work if both parties are communicating properly. Mine failed because we were making decisions by ourselves rather than together regarding the future.

@Bernadette I agree with your opinion, future alignment has to be taken from the beginning of a relationship, WhatsApp conversations do not work, conversations by call are necessary, when there is a misalignment!

I don’t mind a long-distance relationship, probably because I’ve never felt tied to one place. I moved around a lot growing up, so I’m comfortable with change and adapting to new environments. While I’d be open to long-distance, of course, we’d eventually need to decide on a place that works best for both of us. I’m equally fine with moving or staying where I am. If God sends the right person, why wouldn’t I be open to it?

These days you can have a cross-cultural friendship with someone across the street... I have tried filtering for local within 20 miles and hardly saw anyone compatible Free video calls on SALT has helped bridge distance as I have tried matching and building friendships in other countries, learned to be open ... I have not had any matches less than 90 miles away with any app It takes more intentionality to communicate clearly and anticipate potential misunderstandings

Why - matching on Values, Spirituality, and some interests is so much more important to sustaining a Long Term relationship rather than physical proximity.... I think location is the easiest thing to change with a relationship, although changing jobs & selling a house is no joke to pursue someone

If human thinking/knowledge, LDR seems to be difficult because of different cultures, languages & so on. But when you surrender to Him, He will be the Author of our love stories and know how to wait for His perfect time, distance no issue or LDR. SALT is one of the instruments that He gave to communicate and meet each other. God Bless everyone.

I can't drive, so anywhere long distance is going to be fairly unreachable. Brighton to London is the absolute furthest I go. Plus having friends long distance is already hard enough, but when it is someone I might end up wanting a deeper connection with, I can see it being upsetting or frustrating.

Nobody lives close to me, so I'm a bit stuck, but God will match me how He wants and it'll eventually happen. I would consider long distance friendships and move into a romantic relationship only when the person was in a reasonable distance from me. And it may be unfair, but I am not particularly willing to move. I really love my church and friends here, it would have to be something incredibly special to change my mind.

sometimes we all get human on deciding who or who not to talk to 😅 but also remember Rebecca travelled a long way home with the servant to meet Issac. When it comes to distance and other factors, I feel like we’ll get God’s best by following Proverbs 3:5-6. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight

lol I live a considerable distance from most of society, so I have no choice. But in order to be seen on SALT I have to put my pin amongst civilisation. I put "Scotland" as my location so as not to appear too distant, since I can quite easily travel to anywhere in Scotland (and frequently do). If I got into a relationship with someone at the other side of the country, I'd probably travel every second weekend. So I'd be able to visit pretty regularly anyway and it might not feel long distance.

yes. western culture is saturated with feminism, false doctrine, and debauchery so finding traditional cultures are ideal.
