My wife and I communicated via email for several months before I decided to head up north - Canada to pay her a visit. I was living in San Diego at the time. It wasn't until about 1 1/2 years later and three trips to Edmonton, then I decided she was the one for me. Either of us could have easily found someone else but we were just meant to be together.
It's been almost 8 years since the first email exchange and we have been happily married for close to 5 years now. If the chemistry is right, and you will know it, long distance can be the right vehicle to determine if the relationship can withstand the challenge. It certainly can work, just not for everyone.
