WITH A CHILD ON THE WAY AND A PROMOTION THAT TAKES BETTY OUT OF THE COUNTRY, WHAT STEPS SHOULD SHE TAKE TO ENSURE THAT HER RELATIONSHIP WITH HER HUSBAND REMAINS SOLID DESPITE THE DISTANCE? HERE’S FRAN’S TAKE.
Recently I got promoted and transferred to our new offices in Rwanda and this might affect my relationship with my husband of three years. Even though he has a good job, now more than ever, we need both salaries as we are expecting our first child. I read that long distance relationships rarely work and statistics of late show that more than a third of marriages end in divorce. How do I keep the flame in my marriage burning and how will I ensure that our relationship, despite the distance, remains solid?
