Actor Kim Sharma is glowing nowadays. And one of the main reasons for her happiness is her Madrid- based Spanish singer boyfriend Carlos Marin. But keeping the love alive in a long distance relationship is no easy task. Kim shares her courtship fundas with CS:
Communication
I don't need to reiterate this, but communication is the key to every successful relationship. You need to be constantly in touch with your beau over Skype, email, chat, phone, etc. This makes him feel wanted and cared for.u00a0
Transparency
When your partner is far off, he's left wondering what you are upto on a daily basis. I feel that there should be complete transparency in any relationship, especially if it's long-distance. You should keep him posted about your day-to-day activities ufffd people you meet, funny incidences he can relate to, what's happening on the work front, etc. This makes the person feel secure.u00a0
Trust
It's easy to mistrust or feel insecure about your partner in a long-distance relationship. Small things can raise doubts in his or your mind. So, it's very important to trust your partner and believe what he's saying, while he does the same with you.

Technology
This is a boon for long distance lovers. You can be in touch with great ease as well as do stuff like send online gifts like flowers, chocolates, cards, gifts and what not. It allows you to pamper your lover. I so love getting these small surprises every once-in-a-while!

Time out
Agreed you stay far apart, but you need to meet up as and when possible. So, it's very important to squeeze out a small holiday for or with your beloved. Nothing matches upto spending quality time together and it will go a long way in strengthening your bond.u00a0
