4. Take advantage of the benefits a long distance relationship offers. 利用异地恋带来的优势。

More time with friends and/or family, no arguments over toothpaste caps, the pleasure of seeing your sweetheart again after a long absence, time to mull your options (rather than snapping at your partner impulsively) before you respond to that email she/he wrote that seemed so rude the first time you read it, etc. Most important, being far apart gives you a chance to maintain your individuality--something that can get lost in the shuffle when couples spend all their free time together.
有更多的时间陪伴你的朋友和家人，不会为鸡毛蒜皮的小事争吵，而且长久分离后的相聚会更加甜蜜。当你遇到对方提出的无理要求或是其他类似情况时，你有更多的时间去决断，而不是像非异地那样给你的爱人当头一棒。更重要的是，你们之间的距离让你得以保持自己的个性——而这些都是容易在情侣日日相处的时光里消磨掉的东西。
