They answered questions about the intimacy, commitment, communication and sexual satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>Dargie also included 314 women and 111 men who lived close to their partner in her study too and they also answered the same questions.<\/p>\n<p>So to all those having a wonderful long-distance relationship, always know you have a better intimacy in your relationship.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Phil<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kudos to all the long-distance&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8779,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[79],"tags":[2825,2794],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24234"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24234"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24234\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35383,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24234\/revisions\/35383"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8779"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24234"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24234"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
