Stoking The Flames
DRUM Magazine East Africa|October/November 2017

WITH A CHILD ON THE WAY AND A PROMOTION THAT TAKES BETTY OUT OF THE COUNTRY, WHAT STEPS SHOULD SHE TAKE TO ENSURE THAT HER RELATIONSHIP WITH HER HUSBAND REMAINS SOLID DESPITE THE DISTANCE? HERE’S FRAN’S TAKE.

Stoking The Flames
Dear Fran,

Recently I got promoted and transferred to our new offices in Rwanda and this might affect my relationship with my husband of three years. Even though he has a good job, now more than ever, we need both salaries as we are expecting our first child. I read that long distance relationships rarely work and statistics of late show that more than a third of marriages end in divorce. How do I keep the flame in my marriage burning and how will I ensure that our relationship, despite the distance, remains solid?
