Christians?

[christchick392]

Hi,

I'm Sue; I've been in a LDR for 11 months with my boyfriend, Jimmy. We are both Christian and are seeking to commit our relationship to Jesus as deeply as we can. I know a lot of Christians; so does he
but neither of us knows anybody who's in an LDR. I was hoping to meet some Christians, but also meet
a wider variety of people who have successfully navigated their LDR. It doesn't matter if they have closed
the distance.

A little about us...we have known each other almost 16 years- we both love Christian and secular rock and
metal music. We met at Sanctuary International in the chat room there. We both love the Internet, TV and
movies, and can't wait to talk on the phone every night. We REALLY love each other and I get so much en-
couragement from him...it's AMAZING. We both have bipolar disorder and I have cerebral palsy as well. We
live 3000 miles apart. He's 44 and I'm 54.

Anyway, very glad to be here and hoping to meet some great new people soon.

My name is Christian. Is that good enough? haha. I would talk about myself but that would take more effort than I feel I can give now. So I'll just give you my best wishes on your relationship. As well as my sincere greetings.

Welcome to the forum! I'm an atheist from a Muslim background and my SO is an atheist from a Lutheran background

It's cool that you like metal, though. Do you stick to Christian metal only? What bands?

Welcome to the Forum I am a Christian. My two men are Muslim and Christian. I have been with them two years (long distance) and eleven years (close distance) respectively. I am more of a radical Christian you might say.

You have known each other a long time! Then you have a friendship to build on as well Wish you the best of luck

Welcome to the forums Hope you find answers to questions you might have
My husband and I are both roman catholic and we've closed the distance last year in November :P It wasn't always easy, but it was worth it

Welcome to the forum! I am Christian/Baptist and my SO is Catholic. We have been together a total a little over 2 years (this is our second time around) and are hoping to close the distance this spring. Our age difference is two days......and he's older.

Welcome to this forum. I wish you all the best.

Welcome to the forum! My SO is Christian in a much deeper sense than I am but respect his faith and I am learning with him.

Thank you all for your welcomes and support!!! May I ask a question? How did you meet your SO? What was the first year of your LDR like? And what have you learned from your LDR that you otherwise wouldn't have known?

[R&R]

Getting to know the different boards can take some time. There is an introductions board where a lot of people have listed how they met their SO's. You'll see lot of different ways that it's happened.

My SO is not my first LDR, so a lot of this is a replay for me. You learn how important communication is in a relationship. You become extra thankful for the times you are together. You learn to be creative in ways to show your feelings. You learn how to budget your funds better so you can make trips to see each other.

Our first year allowed us to see each other a four times. He got to meet my daughters, parents, friends and co-workers. He made it out for my daughters high school graduation. Our first year also had us opening up about things that we hadn't discussed when we dated the first time and there were some real revelations. Now we're working on getting through the next 8-12 months when we hope we can close the distance.

Hi and welcome!
I'm a christian, but my SO isn't. He's not an atheist but not a believer either.
He respects my beliefs though and takes an interest in the christian part of my life as well

We've been together nearly 3 years, met on the internet.

See you around!

Welcome to LFAD! My SO & I are both Christians. We met at college, and were LD for roughly 2 1/2 years. We are quickly approaching our 2nd wedding anniversary, and will be celebrating 5 years together in January.

[hmrambling]

I'm a Christian and my partner is a believer. Both of us believe that spirituality is more important than religion.

My SO and I are Christians. We believe that if we are meant to be then GOD will get us through all the obstacles and nothing can tear us apart. We put our faith in HIM instead of each other knowing he will guide us down the right path to close our distance. I look forward to talking to you more. Prayers and blessings coming your way.
