Identify the factors that determine the impact of physical separation and distance on long- distance relationships (LDRs).Give an in-depth explanation of how each factor can impact LDRs by using key terms,examples of research studies,and extra details when applicable.

-Nature of the separation
-Some separation,such as being deployed while serving in the military,is caused by circumstance and may not raise questions about relational commitment.
-Other separation,like deciding to move to a new area after graduation,is by choice and may raise questions about relational commitment.
-Effects of time between visits
-Even temporary separations require adjustment and management by the partners.But permanent physical separation produces a new set of expectations,interactions,and relational management strategies.
-How often people are able to get together is another factor that is slightly different from the actual time of separation.
-One study suggests that people who are in long-distance romantic relationships but who are able to get together at least once a week can maintain relationships similar to those between people who are geographically close.
-Infrequency of face-to-face interactions might have an artificially positive effect on the partners if it causes them to work harder to be on their good behavior when they do get together.
-Another study reported that couples in long-distance premarital relationships had less communication but surprisingly greater satisfaction and higher expectation for the likelihood of marriage than those in geographically close relationships.
-Costs and rewards
-According to social exchange theory,distance and separation adds cost to maintaining a relationship that will have to be accounted for in the cost-benefit ratio of the relationship.
-Tensions created by LDRs
-Tensions may also arise when one person is trying to maintain both long-distance relationships and proximal relationships.Visits by long-distance partners can put strains on proximal partners if the two sets of friends don't get along or if they are vying for time together during visits.
