 Here's how I managed a long distance relationship while I was in medical school. Now while I was in medical school, my now beautiful wife was three hours away in a completely different city. During that time we had to figure out how to manage a relationship while still being busy as a medical student. Number one is we made sure that we always prioritize having conversations on a daily basis. Usually this meant that in the evening we would have a Skype call or just a phone call to catch up on each other's day despite how busy I was or how she was with her school. Number two is we tried to make a minimum goal of having one to two hangouts per month where either I would drive down or she would drive up and we would have an evening or a day completely to ourselves where I was in a student and her personal obligations were also put to the side. We could just focus on each other. And then finally number three is something my wife beautifully says which is to focus on the two C's which is communication and compromise. Being a busy medical student definitely required her to do a lot of compromising on how available I was to our relationship but we made sure that we focused on that communication.
