Time

Schedule Time: Most successful couples schedule time for each other.  Some people talk on a nightly basis and some talk on a less frequent basis.  The number of times that you talk is irrelevant.  The most important thing is that both people feel that the other person is there for them.  It is better to plan ahead and ensure that you stick to a schedule than it is to try to care one out later.  If you live in different time zones try to pick a time that is convenient for both people.

Divide Time: You will need to divide your time between both people.  The best way to divide the time is to spend time doing activities that each person likes and has an opportunity to participate in.  For instance, if you enjoy shopping, you can go shopping as a couple but you should also take the time to do what your spouse or significant other enjoys.
