Long-Distance Relationships: Communication, Fun & Commitment

What makes a long-distance relationship actually work?

In Episode 19 of Our Life Is a Honeymoon, Tim and Amy share the story of how their relationship began across the country- from meditation app messages and late-night Skype calls to planned trips, care packages, and eventually building a life together.

They break long-distance relationships down into three foundational pieces:

💬 Communication
🎉 Fun
❤️ Commitment

Through personal stories and real-life examples, they explore how intentional connection helped them stay close even while living 3,000 miles apart.

You’ll hear:

✨ How communication evolved from messages to phone calls to video chats
✨ Why emotional safety and honesty matter more than “playing games”
✨ Fun ways to stay connected from afar
✨ Sending “fun facts,” surprise packages, and day-to-day life updates
✨ Cooking meals together over video chat
✨ Planning meaningful visits and intentional dates
✨ Why creativity keeps relationships feeling alive
✨ The importance of commitment and having a shared vision for the future
✨ How long-distance relationships can sometimes create deeper emotional connection

They also reflect on how these same foundations still matter today- even years later in marriage planning and everyday life together.

At its core, this episode is about intentional connection, emotional closeness, and finding meaningful ways to love each other across any distance.

Have you ever been in a long-distance relationship? What helped you stay connected? 💛

SPEAKER_02 0:00

Hey everybody, welcome back to Our Life is a Honeymoon. This is episode number 19. Wow. Yeah, we're really getting up there. Um, what we want to talk about today: long distance relationships. Well, the idea of a long distance relationship can seem challenging. There are ways to make them a little bit easier, a little bit lighter, and that's what we're here to talk to you about today.

SPEAKER_00 0:21

All right, let's do it.

SPEAKER_02 0:22

Let's take it away. The universe brought us together.

SPEAKER_01 0:31

That we know.

SPEAKER_02 0:33

And together, we want to share that story with you.

SPEAKER_01 0:36

As well as all of the practices we do to keep our relationship thriving.

SPEAKER_02 0:40

Because to us, it feels like our life is a honeymoon.

SPEAKER_01 0:45

We want that to be enjoyed for all of you. I'm Tim.

SPEAKER_02 0:49

I'm Amy, and this is our podcast. This podcast is brought to you in part by Considine Homes, proudly serving your real estate needs in South Florida with honesty and integrity and offering trusted referral partnerships in all 50 states and beyond.

SPEAKER_01 1:09

Hello, everyone. Welcome back. Hey. Episode 19. Let's do this. All right, so the episode is all about long-distance relationships. We started out as a long-distance relationship, and if you know our story, it uh we met online from afar and we wanted to share what worked for us. Overall, it was tough, but it helped us become closer as we started long distance. And the way I want to ex-we're going to explain it is we're going to break it down into three three foundational pieces. And uh, Amy, you want to take it away with the first thing?

SPEAKER_02 1:41

I sure do. Um, yeah, the first piece is communication. And that's probably I think the biggest foundational piece. You want to make sure in all relationships, but especially long distance, but also all, um, that you feel safe, that there's communication, that there's no games being played, there's no, oh, he texted me, I'm gonna wait till tomorrow to respond. Like, there's there's just no space in that, especially, you know, when you're we were 3,000 miles away. Like, no, nobody wants to play games. That's just not what you need in an adult relationship.

SPEAKER_01 2:16

We play games, but they were more exciting, fun games.

SPEAKER_02 2:19

Huh?

SPEAKER_01 2:20

Like fun facts.

SPEAKER_02 2:22

Oh, I thought you meant like Yahtzee. Okay. I also thought other stuff, but then I thought this is a PG. Whatever. Gotta go. Um, so, anyways, yeah, communication was key. And the ways that we communicated, we really went through a succession of um the way the what would you call that? The um, it's been a long day, people. The modalities.

SPEAKER_01 2:46

I was I don't think that's the right word, but we'll go into that.

SPEAKER_02 2:48

Yeah, the modalities through which we communicated. So we originally met on um an app called Insight Timer. We're not gonna go into that story. You can listen to previous episodes, but we met on a meditation app. So that was our initial communication, and then we became Facebook friends and Facebook Messenger, that was our next piece where we were able to communicate. And then we what did we do next? It's really been a long day. No, we didn't go from messenger to we went to text. So we were texting each other, and then through text, we were texting, we were sending audio messages, so we were starting to hear each other's voices, we were sending some videos, which was really, I think, scary and exciting in the beginning, and also um sending photos of our day-to-day life. Um, so that led up to our first phone call, which is very exciting and very nerve-wracking. And then the last piece before we met in person was we had um a Skype session that I'll talk about in a minute. But um, yeah, so those were the um, and modalities is not the right word, but those that that was the succession of communications.

SPEAKER_01 3:59

Yes, yes, well put. Um, I just wanted to make a note that in the beginning I remember through Inside Timer the like the length of time between messages. I think I remember it would get shorter and shorter. Like I think we first talked to each other. I think you were on a road trip in it. It was like it was like weeks, I think, at first before we would get back to each other because it we weren't really, it was just yeah, we were just two random people on the internet. Yeah, and and then we'd eventually became more and more real and uh so yeah, but non-stop. The modality that I'm going to talk about is the first phone call. And I remember we uh weren't very nervous because it was all very safe, quote unquote, before that, whether it's like all right, text an audio message like it was kind of one-sided, so it it wasn't live feeling. And I just remember being really nervous and then uh prepared, actually. Where I had a we both I remember Amy talking to Amy as soon as we started, I'm like, Oh, I have this list of uh questions here, and you're like, I do too. And I we were just laughing because we're we were you know almost like interviewing each other um without like saying that we were going like we were just kind of on the same page, which makes sense because we always have been we're both big list makers and we like to make lists together, yeah. And it would end up being like three hours or two and a half hours, and um just a really, really uh just great just you know, that just fully like we're already like full steam ahead, and I just like kept it going.

SPEAKER_02 5:35

The call went well, yes. So then do you remember how long between the call and the Skype? I have no clue.

SPEAKER_01 5:42

Maybe like a week. I feel like okay. I feel like we talked a bit maybe on the phone a few times and then brought it to Skype.

SPEAKER_02 5:49

It's making me like nervous, like just thinking about it. Like it's kind of scary, all that stuff. Um, so yeah, so then we brought our relationship up a notch with Skype because RP Skype. Yeah. For those youngins out there, Skype was before Zoom. So, yes, we had our first Skype session planned, and um, oh my gosh, I remember we we tuned in and we saw each other through the thing, and we're just like two fools. I don't even think we we put out like a full sentence for the first hour. We were just like, oh my god, it's you, it's you, oh my gosh, I can't believe it. It's you, it's you, it's you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:26

It feels like a like old timey compared to today's, I feel like fast pace, like people wouldn't wait as long to do something like that.

SPEAKER_03 6:34

I feel like things are a lot more like oh well, it's only eight years ago.

SPEAKER_01 6:38

But I think a lot of people do video stuff, like because Zoom is huge, and like people are always Yeah, you know what?

SPEAKER_02 6:46

That was pre-COVID, so videoing with people was not the norm. You're right about that. So this is an old timey tale from the last generation. Um, but anyways, yeah, so we we we finally were able to uh compose complete sentences, and we had a five-hour Skype call, which was insane. That's a long time.

SPEAKER_01 7:09

It was it was like the day moved on. Like you know, we started maybe the sun was just rising or not rising, but you know what I mean. Like there was a a shift of like the moon and the sun, like a huge you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02 7:25

Yes, I do, honey. Like it wasn't just a five-hour transition of light. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_01 7:30

Um, and so do you have anything else you wanted to add on that?

SPEAKER_02 7:33

Am I supposed to?

unknown 7:34

No.

SPEAKER_02 7:36

Our show notes are a little messy on this one if you haven't noticed. So it's being authentic. Um yeah. So um, yeah, I think we're um I think we're done with it.

SPEAKER_01 7:46

All right, so the next the next foundational piece, oh which I have written down here that we've discussed is fun. And so the first one communication, the second one fun. And this is something that came naturally to us, both being fun people.

SPEAKER_03 8:04

Ooh, we uh weeping it.

SPEAKER_01 8:06

You know, I I feel like we're you know, we're creative. You know, you're a creative person. I'm I'm creative. Yes, you are, and so that is part of it. Be creative, you know. If that's not something that comes natural to you, uh just try to just Google how to be creative within a relationship. And uh we kept it interesting. And one of the things that really stood out, I feel like for us to keep it fresh throughout the the times that we weren't seeing each other, uh the thing we did is called fun facts, send each other fun facts, and this is something that um is really easy to do, and it just it was fun. It was it was like another wholesome kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:45

Every day we would send each other like a uh you know, a surprise fact about us, a story about us, something that we liked, a hobby, just to get to know each other better.

SPEAKER_01 8:54

Yeah, yeah. And it it it was an intentional, fun creating piece of our relationship that I I look fondly upon.

SPEAKER_02 9:03

Yeah, that was. We should just do it, but we know everything about each other.

SPEAKER_01 9:07

The one thing that I I I'll just remember is uh when you taught taught me about your uh what was it, uh Deaf Leopard book. Oh it was like your childhood book that you brought out and like, yeah, this was you know, in like second grade or something.

SPEAKER_02 9:21

Yeah, I was I was a metal head as a child. Yeah, or a hard rock head.

SPEAKER_01 9:26

And then also just day-to-days day-to-day life photos, like oh, this was I haven't for lunch. You know, make a little smiley face out of like my sandwich and the avocados I was eating or something.

SPEAKER_02 9:35

Yeah, I know. I I remember all your cutesy ways.

SPEAKER_01 9:38

And then I remember I sent uh I love you written in blueberries.

SPEAKER_02 9:42

Yes, and I blew it up into a big picture and put it in a frame.

SPEAKER_01 9:46

Yeah, so yeah, those are um those are those stories. And then we eventually met.

SPEAKER_02 9:53

Yeah, yeah. We um after all of this, we finally decided it was time to meet each other live and in person. And so that involved um creating long dates. Now, our the first time that we met, uh, you again can go back and listen to previous episodes, but um, a hurricane was involved. It didn't go the way we thought it was gonna go, and at the very last minute we met in North Carolina. So there wasn't we weren't really able to plan that one very well because there was a hurricane involved and our it was very impromptu. But um, our second date, so our dates, our dates were f about five days long, I think each, with sadly like two months of being apart in between. And that was really hard, but that's where we filled in with all these fun connecting things. And then our second date, um, I flew to Seattle.

SPEAKER_01 10:42

Yes, yes. That was exciting because the first date, as Amy said, was kind of impromptu, like, hey, let's just, you know, we have this time blocked off, but it was just really open-ended, and I mean it worked that worked out great. Um, and so this next date was in my neck of the woods, and I just remember being very excited to to look up restaurants, events, museums.

SPEAKER_03 11:09

Oh, did you?

SPEAKER_01 11:11

And I remember as I was I remember when I was working at uh Beagle Brain with Ben and Amelia. Shout out to Ben and Amelia.

SPEAKER_02 11:19

Hey guys.

SPEAKER_01 11:20

Um and I remember sitting in our you know, our workspace and just looking up ideas and and just remember getting really focused. I think I went to the gym and then came, it was on a weekend. I just spent a lot of time sitting. I remember like it was like two or three hours. I was just getting into this huge like planning while you were at work? Um, I was in the office, but not actually working.

SPEAKER_02 11:40

Oh, I was like, wait a, wait a throw yourself under the rug.

SPEAKER_01 11:43

Yeah, it was the weekend when nobody else was there. It was just a kind of like quiet, like work, like a solo workspace.

SPEAKER_02 11:49

I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_01 11:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:51

Oh so cute.

SPEAKER_01 11:52

Yeah, and so I remember just having a little notebook and typing things up, and I remember I sent you the itinerary and you were the itinerary. I don't think the itinerary existed yet.

SPEAKER_02 12:01

I think that's what how it was born.

SPEAKER_01 12:04

There's uh a lot of puns. And so we have a lot, and so the uh the yeah, just having the intention to create something exciting for Amy when she showed up. It wasn't just haphazard when she showed up, like, hey, what do you want to do? I don't know what do you want to do. It was really methodic, not methodical, but it was pretty methodical. It was it was intentional, yeah, and it just and it was a dream come true. Yeah, yeah. We did a lot of fun things. Oh, we did. Yeah, it was a I think one of our first really good laughs together was in the photo booth. Oh my god. The pictures came out like so ridiculous looking.

SPEAKER_02 12:40

What do they call that? The public market?

SPEAKER_01 12:42

Uh yeah, Pikes Pikes Place or Pike Place.

SPEAKER_02 12:45

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:46

Where they throw the fish in Seattle, and uh yeah, it's like this little underground shopping thing, and it's just perfect. It was a perfect it was wonderful.

SPEAKER_02 12:54

Yeah. What uh what else did we do on that trip? We went to the museum of what?

SPEAKER_01 12:59

I think it was pop? Yeah, yeah. It's yeah, I can't remember exactly, but it was like David David's to um the record stores.

SPEAKER_02 13:09

Oh my gosh. Yeah, way better than Florida. Fun record stores. What was the one that has a cafe in there?

SPEAKER_00 13:16

Easy Street Records.

SPEAKER_02 13:17

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You could oh my god, and the vegan restaurants, so many of them, which was awesome. And uh Veggie Grill?

SPEAKER_01 13:24

Did we go to Veggie Grill?

SPEAKER_02 13:25

We did go to Veggie Grill.

SPEAKER_01 13:26

It wasn't the highlight, but it was good.

SPEAKER_02 13:27

Yeah, everything was fantastic. And um, what was that? That um rusty old thing in the park.

SPEAKER_01 13:34

Oh yeah, gasworks, I think.

SPEAKER_02 13:36

Yes, that was beautiful.

SPEAKER_01 13:38

Just a random, like industrial-looking abandoned thing in the middle of the park.

SPEAKER_02 13:42

Abandoned things, yeah. So, anyways, Tim made a fantastic um multi-page itinerary with lots of bullet points.

SPEAKER_01 13:50

And but you know, he really if you for the people that can see here, these are how we live. I'm gonna describe it to the audio listeners. I have a very detailed plan, uh, like just you can show it to the people too.

SPEAKER_02 14:06

Tim types everything out, there's bullet points. His is beautiful. Mine is what we call uh oh the floppy copy. And um that's just how our brains work.

SPEAKER_01 14:17

Yeah. So that was my date that I planned, and then I uh months later, I'm gonna go.

SPEAKER_02 14:22

Two months later, yeah, you came to Florida.

SPEAKER_01 14:25

Yeah, so right after Christmas.

SPEAKER_02 14:27

Right after Christmas. It was finally time for Tim to meet the kids. So that was a lot, and uh, and my ex-husband.

SPEAKER_01 14:36

And you you planned it all out nice and fun.

SPEAKER_02 14:38

Yeah, yes, I did. Yes, I did. Um, yeah, so we had to kind of plan date time and kid time. So I remember like I got tickets to Cirque de Soleil, so that was amazing. Did we go to Disney in that same how did we have the energy? In a five were you here five or seven days?

SPEAKER_03 14:55

I don't remember.

SPEAKER_02 14:56

I feel like we went to Circle to Soleil in Miami. We went to Walt Disney World, I guess just for the day. We the kids, we went to the movies with the kids. We went to um Benny's on the beach, which is a restaurant on the ocean. Um do you remember anything else we did?

SPEAKER_01 15:13

Went out to dinner with your friends.

SPEAKER_02 15:15

Oh, yeah, my friends got to meet him as well. Kristen and Jenny. Yeah, Kristen and Jenny. Yeah. Yep, yep, yep. So, anyways, um I don't think we're respectables. No, I don't think that we did that either. But um, but anyways, the point is also the same. He didn't just fly here and you know, we just waste time thinking about what to do. Like I wanted to make an exciting experience for him. And uh, I guess it was exciting because a few weeks later he moved here.

SPEAKER_01 15:42

That was already in the works at that point. That was in the works. I chose to near sight unseen.

SPEAKER_02 15:50

Yes. Almost, almost sight unseen here on our our first date, uh, four days in. He told me he was moving to Florida.

SPEAKER_01 15:59

So Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:01

You know what? It worked out.

SPEAKER_01 16:02

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:03

When you know, you know.

SPEAKER_01 16:04

Yeah, the the it was it was like my time in Seattle was naturally coming to an end. Like it just felt it didn't, it didn't feel like it just felt like a natural progression of my life, and there was no second guessing it.

SPEAKER_03 16:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:19

And um, and so along those lines of keeping it fun, yes, the uh just another side kind of story is it was around Halloween, like backtrack a couple months, and I we're separate again. Yeah, so I'm I'm back in Seattle, Amy's you know, here and it's Halloween, and I had the idea to just send Halloween candy in a nice, you know, like package. Like I remember put stickers on it, and my roommate Amelia, I feel that probably inspired that one because she has a lot of stickers, yeah. Um, and so yeah, just candy for the kids, candy for Amy, and just mailed it off. I don't even think I said it was coming, I think it just showed up.

SPEAKER_02 16:57

Yeah, probably.

SPEAKER_01 16:58

And uh yeah, so that's just another another thing that we did.

SPEAKER_02 17:00

Yeah, mail each other surprises. That's a way to keep it alive, to keep the spark going. Definitely. Yeah, yeah. So another thing that we did that I think was my favorite thing now. We were 3,000 miles apart, but we still cooked dinner together, and it was fantastic. We um set up our phones so we were FaceTiming and we got the same recipe. And before we FaceTimed, we went grocery shopping, so we had all the same ingredients, and then we just cooked the same meal at the same time, all the same little steps. We baked it, we chit-chatted, it came out, and then we ate our vegan lasagna together, yeah, but apart.

SPEAKER_01 17:36

Yeah, I remember I had my computer set up.

SPEAKER_02 17:38

Maybe I had my computer set up.

SPEAKER_01 17:40

Yeah, it was probably on Skype.

SPEAKER_02 17:42

You know what? It was eight years ago, and I'm getting old. But whatever. That's it, it was still awesome. So it was so fun. His lasagna came out moist and delicious.

SPEAKER_01 17:54

No, I don't think it was. I think we both probably had the same, but I just enjoyed the taste of it.

SPEAKER_02 17:58

Mine was dry like the desert.

SPEAKER_01 18:01

It was uh to me, it was a vegan lasagna, and I would make it again today if I if I had the recipe.

SPEAKER_02 18:08

Yeah. Yeah, where is that recipe should be in a scrapbook.

SPEAKER_01 18:12

Maybe it's on your Pinterest or something.

SPEAKER_02 18:15

It wasn't very good, but but yeah, we should figure it out.

SPEAKER_01 18:20

But yeah, the the the whole idea was you know, we're we're thousands of miles apart, like how can we feel more connected? And I I feel like the idea of cooking together isn't something that I think would come to long-distance people's minds. Yeah. So I think that's a a good idea.

SPEAKER_02 18:38

Yeah, no, a hundred percent. Or I mean, there's probably other things you can substitute in there. I can't think of any right now, but um, oh, you know what else you could do together? You could paint together, you could like um set up a still life of the same thing, or puzzle together, get the same puzzle.

unknown 18:54

You could make a freaking puzzle together.

SPEAKER_01 18:56

Probably not a hard one.

SPEAKER_02 18:58

Not a thousand piece or a three hundred piece or that's a good idea, and you could chit-chat. Oh, it's almost like you should get in the other room and we should do that. That sounds like so much fun. Anyways, our point is there's so many ways to stay connected in a long-distance relationship, but you have to um you have to be intentional and you have to you have to put the effort forth. And when you do, I think that you can actually almost connect a little bit deeper in the beginning of a relationship when the physical is not there. I mean, I feel like we knew each other's souls inside and out by the time, honestly, by the first time we met in person, but especially by the time you moved out here.

SPEAKER_01 19:38

Yes, yes. And so that brings us to the last point, which is our last foundational piece. Yes, our last foundational piece of the long-distance relationship trifecta, and this is commitment. Yes. And the the commitment to me felt really strong from the beginning. And I believe that once I went to go visit Amy in North Carolina, I even mentioned like I I'm planning on moving to Florida, like it was for us, it kind of came early. Like, I feel like maybe some long distance relationships it might take longer to get there, which is okay.

SPEAKER_03 20:13

Maybe it should.

SPEAKER_01 20:16

But like uh the commitment, we were committed to each other, and that drove a lot of these actions. Like, all right, you know, we're not going to waste our time if you know I'm seeing other people, you're seeing other people, you know what I mean? Like, like, because in a long distance relationship.

SPEAKER_02 20:32

Yeah. You're giving up a you're giving up things to have that relationship. So yeah, you're not messing around.

SPEAKER_01 20:39

And it's not it's not necessary, but for us, that kind of that end goal, like Tim's gonna, you know, I'm gonna move out there. This is going to like kind of give it more life because we knew that the the end, you know, there was a light ahead at the end of the tunnel. And again, that's not 100% necessary.

SPEAKER_02 20:56

Yeah, yeah. I mean, some people have a very that's for sure long distance, and that's where it ends. Yeah, bless you if you can do that. For me, that would be too difficult, but yeah, possible.

SPEAKER_01 21:08

Yeah, and so to uh zoom out these three foundational pieces of communication, fun, commitment. The communication is how we stayed connected, the fun is how we kept it alive, and the commitment is what that gave us the why. And then those three things still matter today, really, really with without even like as we were kind of building this episode, it's cool to see that all three of those things are still alive and well in our relationship.

SPEAKER_02 21:39

I think for a healthy relationship, they need to be.

SPEAKER_01 21:41

Yeah. And you know, they do don't look the same. We're not cooking across the country. We uh sometimes don't even cook together that we live together.

SPEAKER_02 21:50

Sometimes we don't cook together. What are you talking about? Sometimes we uh we used to in the beginning, I think, but yeah, so life has gotten busy.

SPEAKER_01 21:58

Yeah, so th The cooking isn't didn't become like a main thing. It was just like a part of it.

SPEAKER_02 22:05

Just a way to connect from afar.

SPEAKER_01 22:06

Yeah, so they look different today, and it's just those three things are just really important. And so hopefully you got something out of them.

SPEAKER_02 22:13

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So our question for you have you ever had or are you in a long distance relationship? And how did it go? Has it been easy? Have you felt connected or um did it not work?

SPEAKER_01 22:28

Yeah, we'd love to hear it. I'd love to hear it. Send us an email, message.

SPEAKER_02 22:33

Message us on social media. So many ways you can communicate with us. So, um, anyways, we end all of our episodes with our happily ever after for today. And um, we are going to pull a card from this deck called Our Moments. You can buy this on Amazon.com. You should put a link to it in our you know they don't um they don't it's not linkable. I've already tried that.

SPEAKER_01 22:58

We can still put a link, just a a non- Oh you know what?

SPEAKER_02 23:02

No, maybe it I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 23:04

We'll talk about it later.

SPEAKER_02 23:08

It's called Our Moments, the Couples Edition, and you'll just find it somehow. But anyways, um they're just um conversation starting.

SPEAKER_01 23:17

How about this? I'll pick the card that I read to you, and then you'll pick the card that you read to you.

SPEAKER_02 23:22

So we're not gonna both answer it?

SPEAKER_01 23:24

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll just do that.

SPEAKER_02 23:27

Okay, you just read.

SPEAKER_01 23:28
