Every relationship involves some sort of challenge because nothing is perfect. If you are in an international relationship, chances are you and your partner probably have some kind of cultural difference that you need to overcome. In fact, if you deal with that tactfully, the cultural difference can make your relationship stronger! 😉
- Any kind of struggle that you go through together becomes an asset which makes your relationship stronger and better.
Joe and Ana were in a long-distance relationship during COVID-19, so they were unable to see each other for years! They still managed to maintain their emotional connection online.
After the end of COVID-19, Joe and Ana got married. Joe sent this message to Ana: “It’s so crazy how much us going through the pandemic together makes me realize more and more each day how the two of us are so much bigger than anything that comes our way. Ana, I love you forever.”
Ana has been deeply moved by the beautiful sentiment, i.e., the two of them are much bigger than any challenge that they might deal with. Joe has created a “us against the world” paradigm in their romantic relationship, which unites them and empowers them as an unstoppable, loving and caring team. Their international relationship is to be admired. 😊
- How to remind your partner of the strength of your connection:
Every couple has their own story that cannot be replaced because their shared history is so powerful.
When Joe and Ana were in two different countries during COVID, they were looking forward to the day that they would be able to see each other again. Towards the end of the pandemic, Joe sent this text message to Ana: “Let’s count down the days until we are together. You and me.” (It’s such a beautiful message which reinforces the idea that these two people have a story together. No matter what kind of adversity they face, the unshakable part of the story is the two of them: the supportive and unwavering team.
If you are also in an international relationship, perhaps you can think about how to adapt the above-mentioned messages and send them to your partner. I’m sure your relationship will become stronger and stronger.
Quote: “When you are able to overcome adversity with your partner as a team, your success will reinforce the emotional connection that you’ve built with your partner, thereby making your international relationship even better and stronger.”
