Less is more. The limited time you have is enough to keep the relationship alive. All you need to do is communicate regularly; always think of ways to make each other laugh, cuddle as much as you can, retain that intimacy.

Set alarms, calendar alerts, whatever it takes to make time for the people you care about.
