Does distance strengthen or break bonds in relationships?

If the love is true then distance makes it stronger because that way you'll know who really loves you.

An Italian Renaissance painter once wrote, "Absence strengthtens love, but presence sharpens it." Go figure for yourselves, if distance actually improve relationships, or destroys it.

True love or not.

Distance in most Nigerian relationships,prooves to be the determining factor of the level of love both lovers have for each other.

To me, distance breaks relationships.

yes hot angel l agree with u
distance breaks relationship just like it did mine

Distance makes and mars relationship,
It depends on the stake holders.

Oh no,long distance relationship is very difficult to keep,it takes a lot of courage and trust to be in it.
it can be very tempting to call it off but yea u always reap the benefits of your waitings after all.Long distance relationship term to last longer.

Absence makes the mind grow fonder BUT Delayed hope makes the heart go weary
Distance could easily break the relationship because the strenght of every relationship directly hinges on (quality)communication.
If its a fresh relationship. Distance could kill it.
If its a old relationship. Distance could reflame the fire.

If you're truly in love with each other. Distance isn't a barrier (u'ld find a way round it).  When your love fails in times of adversity, then its weak.

I second GP. It really depends on the stakeholders.

Layi know it all.

Ah egbon. I'm only but Human.

distance? a NO GO area for pearl

buah buah.
distance relationship is crazy. it takes time, effort, courage etc to last for a very very long while. a mate of mine from work just told me today to break up with me BF (her words.... Dont u miss the kissing, touching etc, get someone else down here)
She can not go a day without seeing her Bf.
anyways mine for now is going on smoothly and wld do anthing with the help of God to make it last.

effects cld be spending less time with other mates
money spent on calling cards(that aint a problem for me tho)
not seeing eachother when ever u want to (cld run people in sane )
Not doing stuffs together (shopping etc)

Distance is dangereous in a relationship.
though it depends.

it just dosent work unless by some miracle

distance makes the heart grow fonder!

Fonder has got limits.

Distance Relationship can work if you really want it to!

Distance sure breaks relationships. I have had experiences before and it didn't work out. One have to be careful.

Distance is relationship breaker. Hardly will a relationship work with distance except on rare cases.

one in a million cases

@pearldrops, you think you and I can have a long distance relationship? you are one fine looking fox.

hell no! no man toys with my emotions
thankx to u girl

distance isnt gonna break mine, i'll make sure it strengthens it because i cant afford to loose him he's the best thing thats ever happened to me

it works if you want it 2 to period

two hearts in love are designed to beat together as one not far apart , Some situations are inevitable but one has to try d very best to bridge the distance , Loneliness is always the initial reason behind every broken once Loving relationships , None of the parties never plans to break off but one thing always lead to another when your partner is far away and you have a friend who is an opposite sex , Emotions can just somehow be uncontrollable, distance broke the relationship between my ex-boyfriend even though we tried to make it work , though now it's under control but circumstancially it's too late , I am in another relationship now , distance again, but I 'm not making the same mistake again , I would give up even my comfort, to be with him, it's not about doubt of trust or love but it's just nature ,

may be this will sure work for us u know the distance stuff
