Does Love Work Over Distance?

                          

“Distance is not barrier to things of the spirit.”


Love is spiritual. It is an experience that permeates the body (physical), and the soul (spiritual); therefore, distance should not be a barrier to love.

When two people are genuinely in love, they operate on the same frequency. Their thoughts are often in synch. Sometimes they share a dream. There are times when one will pick up a phone to dial the other only for the other’s call to come in, perhaps because they’re on the same thread of thoughts or feelings. There are also times when one wants to say a thing and the other voices the exact words intended by the other or they may even utter the words in unison as if it were planned.

Out of sight may mean an absence of the body physical body, but does that explain spiritual consequences, like soul tie?  As explained above, a soul can be tied to the other. Two individuals of dissimilar origins can become soul mates through love sharing. The can begin to function almost as one. There are events where such couple does not survive the demise of one of the partners.

There is agape love, the open love, which is selfless and pure, which gives to any and all without expectation. However, the love of a couple in a relationship is not one way, it is largely give and take, as no amount given by one can make up for the other’s lack of giving. It is the kind of love that requires some sort of balance to remain healthy. It really does not matter what one gives, but does it truly satisfies the other? It may be just a hug in return. Though it does also require sacrifice, it is often better when both individuals make conscious efforts to look after each other.

There are times when a person falls in love with someone who does not feel the same way they do. They give away so much affection. At times, the object of this affection may pretend or struggle to reciprocate. Obviously such union will never work, even at intimacy, not to mention over distance.

  
But if both individual truly and unreservedly love one another, they will always hear the other’s heart’s call. Do you know that human spirit gives out distress call when in suffering? Only those whom they love and who truly loves them back can hear (maybe say feel) such call. I know of a couple who will often reach out to each other at such times irrespective of the distance in-between them.

Yes, love works over distance. This does not mean that there won’t be temptations, but then what could be distracted when the hearts are connected? People who are truly in love with each other find intimate associations with others who are not their partner unfulfilling and totally out of order. They find it absolutely desecrating to share their bodies with some other persons. It truly doesn’t matter if their partner is available or not.   

So when someone says that “distance” is the problem with their relationship, then know they are not wholly in love with whomever they may have professed to love vice versa, which instantly makes them prone to the pressures of temptation.
Sometimes people who fell for the thunderstorms of mere chemistry and artificial attributes of the opposite sex would also lay claims to love but it takes just a little time for that to dissipate whatever flesh of pleasure it once held.

However, it is not advisable for partners to stay away from each other for too long – say many months at a stretch or even years, because there are also times when the flesh desire warmth of the other’s flesh, their hug, their kiss, or even their mere presence in the same space.

Every period of separation must be filled with constant communication. At times such periods tend to recondition the core feelings of the relationship. Some relationships have experienced rejuvenation after such short breaks as they give room for imaginations and deeper cravings.


The truest test of the strength of love in any relationship comes when a partner is away. If one feels the urge to do something the other shouldn’t know about then they’re in a wrong relationship.

Finding The Bond

My strongest addiction as a single was reading. Being alone was bliss and gave me ample time to devour as much literature as one could come by. I had very little care for what happened in other social spaces.  When I got married some years ago I had fears my lifestyle might have some effect on my family bonding, so I chose family. I found a great partner in my wife and have bonded excellently with my kids. But my love for the books and writing have suffered tremendously. A few months ago, I decided to return to reading​. If you were a reader you would know that if you've ever read a book that it has a way of reaching back to you whenever you saw the title. Going through my shelve, I realized I could sense and recollect every book's content by a mere touch; these were old friends indeed. And it struck me I have not bought new ones in a while. I have returned to reading, having made friends with the kids. I know they must sometimes wonder why Daddy suddenly has to stare fo...

A Letter to My Daugther

Dear daughter,   As I look down on this blank, unlined paper waiting to get inscribed with ink, I could imagine an angelic face on the brink of making a transition into a world of many wonders. I want you to know that you have been loved already. I could only imagine what it’s like over there on the other side, so I think you should consider it a fatherly advice and hold on to as much memory as you could while crossing over to this journey full of treachery and pain, hopelessness, and yet permeated with a lot of joy, and I hope you will come to add to its beauty. It is a world of many influences. A world of riches and poverty, highs and lows, wisdom and folly, fame and shame: a world of immense prejudice and little justice. But it is also a world where you can be anything you want to be, if you don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! You are a woman, yes? The world expects a lot from your kind yet! So you are also awaited. I want you to know you can do all that without lett...

Want to Beat Her?

Let’s see. She is running her tongue again and getting you all depressed. You feel your authority is being challenged and you have to make it clear who is the man; you don’t want your friends talking in disregard. You think she is acting loose and if you don’t do a thing about it she would never know how badly you feel, or, bizarre as it might seem, how deeply you love her. We have to put the drink aside for a while; you really wanted to beat her, which is why you got drunk in the first place. In a way or another we would have seen quite a few women being battered; may be enough to wonder why some would be so maltreated, yet they are still all over their tormentor like clinging ivy; may be enough to wonder why a man would so badly abuse and assault the same individual he claims to love; may be enough to know where to stand on the issue. A lot of these cases have the same fundamental causes: nagging, fluid temper, jealousy, alcoholism (and their likes), low self esteem, pride and so on....
