Loving Your Long Distance Relationship
By Dr. Stephen Blake
A Cool Book for Lovers Separated By Circumstance Don't Leave Home Without It!

Loving Your Long Distance Relationship is a first of its kind in a new 1990's genre. Throughout its pages, self-published author Stephen Blake delves into the all too-increasingly-common phenomenon of staying in love while having to be apart. Blake is the voice of experience when it comes to nurturing long-distance relationships. He's on his third.

Blake says it's just fate that he seems to keep falling for women that he ends up separated from for long periods of time. But it has meant he's become quite an authority on long-distance relationships-- a growing trend in an increasingly mobile society--his may be the first book on the subject

Loving Your Long Distance Relationship is a book both painfully poignant yet ultimately pragmatic. Readers will nod their heads, and perhaps even shed a tear, in recognition of what the author has experienced in his three long-distance romances. But all will be eager to absorb the practical and helpful suggestions Blake provides in combating the tribulations of lovers challenged by distance.

A simple rule that Blake and his girlfriend follow is to say their good-byes the night before she has to leave, rather than in a tearful rush at the airport. They talk by phone daily, but keep their calls relatively short. They save really serious discussions for a time when they're face to face. And they always focus on the time when they'll be together for the long term.

And what about long-distance sex? That chapter of Blake's book is reduced to one sentence: "There is no such thing."

In the conclusion of his book, Blake asks readers to send him their own stories of long-distance relationships. (It will use up a few hours that would otherwise be spent missing their loved ones, he points out.) The plan? He intends to publish a sequel called Still Loving Your Long-Distance Relationship.
