After six months of living in separate cities, Keith and Laura share insights on maintaining their relationship despite the distance. Their experience demonstrates how intentional communication, weekend commitments, and personal growth can transform a challenging situation into an opportunity for development.

Laura highlights the importance of establishing consistent routines in her new environment. Initially, her morning routine suffered as she adjusted to living alone in Green Bay. She values intentional communication and the weekend family time they've committed to, whether she travels home or the family comes to Green Bay.

Keith is being mindful of the skills he needs and is developing through this experience. Communication, listening, empathy, collaboration, and flexibility as areas he's intentionally strengthening. Keith is surprised by how well he's adapted to the situation and has used the additional alone time to focus on personal health goals and training.

Both, Laura and Keith agree that while their arrangement requires effort, their strong foundation and commitment to regular communication have made the transition smoother than expected. Most importantly, they view this long-distance as a temporary, “for right now" situation that's helping them build resilience for the future.
