Millions of couples are involved in Long Distance Relationships (LDRs)-"commuter marriages" where spouses live in different locations in order to follow job opportunities. Until now, books dealing with LDRs have been dry tomes bemoaning the consequences of separation, or saccharine greeting card efforts with cartoon bunnies that are more nauseating than helpful.

The Long-Distance Relationship Guide focuses on helping couples make the most of and even enjoy their LDRs. Fun yet informative, there are dozens of tips on devising creative care packages or using technology to bridge distances. Anecdotes from couples are sprinkled throughout, providing valuable advice for navigating the days and miles between visits.

Caroline Tiger (Philadelphia) is the author of How to Behave and writes for Self, Ms., Salon and Philadelphia Magazine. She has survived an LDR that spanned two coasts.
