Nowadays with work and online dating many people have turned to long distance relationships.

I think it has become so common in our society that sometimes people don’t even realize they are doing it.

A common theme in my articles, on my website, and in my coaching practice is on needs. For our purposes we define a need as a condition requiring relief. There are quite obviously many needs that you meet on a daily basis.
