Currently, I am in a long-distance relationship with my boyfriend. Also, I do not get to see my parents, but once or twice a year. The way I recognize the essence of these relationships is by putting pictures of them in my room, as the book says. Somehow, I always bring them up in myt conversations with other people. I guess this is a reminder that the relationship with soemone else still exists; otherwise, they wouldn't be spoken of. Another thing I do, is to post pictures and tag them on status on Facebook. I guess one thing that reminds me of the essence of these relationships is Skype. It is not the same when you have to talk to someone through a video camera; still, it helps you recognize how much you care about and miss them. Do you think that because of the lack of personal communication with people that are far away, the relationship could be damaged somehow? Or, what changes in the relationship?

The lack of personal communication can result in one or both parties feeling neglected if they feel they are putting their all into preserving the relationship, but they do not feel the other is trying as hard. If there is a solid effort and foundation of trust on both sides though, it could only improve. Still, if you don't see them in person often enough, changes might occur without either side even realizing.
Maybe the distance creates the lack of communication in some cases, but in other cases there can be lack of communication without the distance. I believe most of the issues in relationships stem from an internal cause rather than an external one.
