The iBook states many of these influences in lesson two, which are Compatibility, Communication, Honesty, Forgiveness and Time. (iBook 7). I think that Communication is one of the most important of the influences. To have a healthy relationship, you need to be able to communicate with each other. The iBook expresses the importance of communication with emphasis on long distance relationships stating, 'Staying in touch is essential for the love to grow especially in long distance relationships where individuals can’t meet quite often,' (iBook 7).  Some of what could happen to a relationship without proper communication was highlighted in the iBook saying 'Do not stay quiet as it leads to problems and misunderstandings,' (iBook 7).]]> 2019-12-09 02:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_leming/5gpybh5h06u3/wish/421425534 sarah_leming https://padlet.com/sarah_leming/5gpybh5h06u3/wish/422539359 One time that I successfully maintained a long-distance relationship was with my best friend from Elementary school. I met her in second grade and we were best friends for 3 years. In fifth grade, her family moved to Utah. Before she left, I hung out with her as much as possible and in the end, we exchanged contact information to keep up with the importance of communication. We emailed a lot over the first summer that she moved and tried to email each other as much as possible about our experience in middle school up to high school!]]> 2019-12-11 02:50:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_leming/5gpybh5h06u3/wish/422539359
