    The articulation of the topic and the way it has been presented by both of you are adorable and insightful. Having intuition and listening to a couple who have been through the same on the contrary is much much more thoughtful.
    Thank you for putting it out! 👏🏻🙌🏻✨

    New to your IG and YT Channel! Enjoyed this video, thanks for making it!
    My husband and I are in a similar situation: long distance for 3.5 years and after a long delay I’ll finally be joining him in the US after being 2678 miles apart with a 3 hour time difference while I finished residency in Canada! It has been a tough 3.5 years apart but it’s finally coming to an end in the new year inshallah! Your tips are so spot-on and I believe it’s a big part of what helped us survive all these years apart! Thanks for sharing!

  • @muhammadsaadsalman4217

    I am in the military & my wife lives in Canada. I have been deployed to a place where I can't keep her with me. We ve been married for 2 years now & this is the longest we ve been apart. My wife is alhamdolilah the best thing that could ever happen to me. I love her so much that even a second away from her seems like hell. Lately I ve been going through a phase where I act like an overgrown child. I am clingy & want her to be aval all the time. I feel so guiltyfor acting like a baby. But alhamdolilah that is only a small part of our relationship and we always manage to deal with it by keeping our lines of communication open. Thankyou for making this video, I stumbled upon it by accident & it made me feel so much better! I always thought that I am the only one struggling with it. May Allah swt bless you guys with a lifetime of togetherness & happiness!
