Is Yours the Greatest Love Story Ever? Tell Sandals your story and win a trip for two!

Boys Before Business is excited to announce that Sandals Resorts is giving away all-inclusive vacation packages to couples with the Greatest Love Story Ever! You and your Prince Charming can win an all-expenses paid trip for two!
The Royal Wedding is right around the corner, and Kate and Prince William’s story is a wonderful example of how a girl really can have it all! A few weeks ago, Boys Before Business wrote a blog entry about the importance of being open to receiving the man of your dreams and realizing that sometimes he doesn’t come in the package we expect him to. Do you remember reading it? This same thing has happened to Prince William and Kate! The press refers to Kate as a “commoner,” and she and her soon-to-be husband are breaking all of the old rules about whom a Prince should marry. Typically, a prince is supposed to marry someone from royalty, which Kate is not. But once again, true love can and does overcome everything. For Prince William, where his finance comes from is much less important than who she is and how he feels about her. Congratulations to them!

So tell us: Where did you meet your Prince Charming? Was his arrival a total surprise, or had you been planning for him? Has your relationship flowed easily, or did you have some bumps along the way? What were the challenges that the two of you had to successfully overcome, and how has your love been able to rise above these challenges? And finally, how have you been able to HAVE IT ALL?

Boys Before Business has had the pleasure of collaborating with Beaches Resorts By Sandals as curriculum trainers during their fun BFF Girls Getaway programs. We are excited to be visiting the Turks and Caicos resort in May and again in October. During those visits, we will be lounging in the sun, getting massages, and maybe even be taking a catamaran cruise! Of course, we will also be talking about strategies that will help you find and keep the man of your dreams.
We are excited to share the news with you about this great contest! Send in your entries, and don’t forget to include how you were able to find and keep the man of your dreams, and how Boys Before Business helped you do it! Good luck!

You’ve heard it often and so have we: distance makes the heart grow fonder.

Based on our respective experiences, we’ve discovered this doesn’t always hold true – and we know why.

Relationships have four dimensions that work together to make a connection with someone else fulfilling. They are:

Intellectual

Physical

Intellectually, relationships that are long distance can fulfill this dimension through great telephone chats, emails, IMs and exchanges of information. Admiration, stimulation and love can grow in this dimension quite easily because they are centered in what you know, understand and want to share with each other. The impact of distance on this dimension is low.

Emotionally, distance can introduce some, well, distance. When one person experiences upset, frustration, fear, sadness  we want the support that sometimes only a loved one can give with hugs, kisses, hand holding, back rubbing and eye contact that reassure, comfort and remind us of the loving support right beside us. These physical gestures that provide emotional support are not possible at a distance. One could argue that talking could be emotionally supportive, and we are not discounting that. But sometimes, there are just no words. Likewise, when you are happy, get great news and have something to celebrate, you want to share these highly emotional moments with the one you love too. Emotional engagement comes from a combination of the senses of sight, sound and touch. The impact of distance on this dimension is high.

Spiritually, distance can be a nuisance but not necessarily a dealbreaker. Celebrations of holidays and a shared sense of values are all part of a couple’s spiritual life. Oftentimes but not always, couples with the same faith find spirituality an easily shared dimension because each person has grown up with similar spiritual experiences and heritage. It’s not about any one religion or necessarily about being of the same religion. It’s more focused on an openness to spirituality and interests each person has in sharing experiences in this dimension. It is rooted in respecting and supporting the spiritual fulfillment for each other. This makes for a greater relationship with more depth. The impact of distance on this dimension is medium.

Physically, distance can be difficult. The only way to deal with this dimension is to be diligent about dissolving the distance. To reach out and touch someone, without saying a word, is an irreplaceable connection. It says “I Love You” on a whole different level. Touch is a great experience for us as human beings and is an integral part of a loving, sustainable relationship. Without physical contact and presence, a relationship at a distance is doomed.

The key here is consistent contact. We feel that relationships that include in person physical contact monthly work best. Any longer than this and the distance may begin to drain the relationship.  What works even better is to decide and agree on what the longest amount of time will be for you to be apart.  It might be 10 days or two weeks.  The key is to agree as a team what is going to work for both of you.

There is also one additional aspect of physical relationships: scheduling and setting expectations. When you know when you’re going to see each other again, there is a deeper commitment to the relationship because expectations of being together are fulfilled. When there are no dates set to see each other, doubts can be cast on true commitment to the relationship. The impact of distance on this dimension is critically high.

There is one more area in long distance relationships that we feel compelled to mention that support their ultimate success. In every relationship, finances play a role. In terms of a long distance relationship, money must be considered as flying to visit one another so you can be together and grow together is a real factor for your overall success.

We suggest that you discuss financially how your long distance relationship will be supported. If you don’t, you just might find yourself stuck between your desire to be together and your dwindling dollars to support yourself and your relationship.

A relationship with someone is where we tend to grow the most as people. We find out more about ourselves and each other as a result. We learn about life through sharing it with each other.

Relationships are also a responsibility. They come with commitments, expectations, emotions and experiences you can only have when you have the courage to engage in them.

The bottomline on long distance relationships: plan to be with each other at regular intervals, the more often the better, with the intention of dissolving the distance permanently. Make sure financially you are well-positioned to support it.

We are certain that by following these simple strategies, you can find the man of your dreams and overcome the inherent challenges faced in a long distance relationship.
