Publisher's Summary

This book presents the story of a man who left his family to go to the USA to look for greener pastures. What was meant to be a blessing for the family turned out to be the opposite, as it drew the couple toward a separation. This was so, until the only option that was left for him was to go back and be with his family in his homeland. Otherwise, he would risk having his wife kill herself and their three kids. Which really took a very dramatic turn.

Are you a newly married couple whose job descriptions will leave you with no option than to separate for some time? Are you a traveling nurse, doctor, truck driver, or VIP bodyguard? Have you traveled to another town, city, country or another continent for work, or even for holiday? Do your plans for your future together involve a long distance relationship (LDR) for months or years? Maybe you have been married for years and have one, two, or more kids together, and the circumstances of life make you both see physical separation as the best, if not the only, option. The reasons for such decisions are plenty, but seeking greener pastures often emerges as one of the most common ones. The reasons are usually meaningful and oriented toward the good, but something often goes wrong along the way. This book will open your eyes to what you are really getting into. There is more to a LDR than meets the eye.

Are you already in a LDR that is showing some signs that it might not work? Are you worried about your health, partner, or kids? Do you ever feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel, that the only option is to part ways with your partner? All these are simply possibilities; you could be going through even worse situations. The advice that is presented in this book is from a man who had his own fair share of the difficulties that are associated with a LDR. As you read this book, you will realize that LDR challenges will have solutions which lead to happy, healthy relationship.

This book acknowledges the fact that it is not always the case that LDRs end up turning sour. A few of them have happy endings. Some reports say that it only takes 4.5 months for a LDR to crumble (Tran, 2017). Surpassing this benchmark depends on how the couple accepts and manages the fact that they are miles apart. This is what determines whether an LDR will have a happy or sad ending. Join me in this interesting, well-researched piece.
