This long-distance thing is really difficult, although we do have a blast when we are together!
One of my married girlfriends gave us this meditation and prayer to us to reflect upon as we prepare for marriage. It's helped me focus on the purpose of sacramental union:
At the wedding reception in Cana, when they ran out of wine, Jesus was there for them and performed His first miracle by changing water to wine. It showed His concern for the newlyweds and the Sacrament of marriage. Jesus will always be there for both of you. Love was the foundation of what He taught.
Dear Jesus, bless this union as we start our lives together as man and wife. Bless our home with Your sacred presence. Give us the joy which you left with that unknown couple at Cana. May Your peace live always in our hearts and in our home. Amen.

So sorry about the long-distance thing. Now you know why Doug and I always say that requiring 6 months is just too long and that 8 months was something we'd never do to ourselves again. When you know, you know. Hang in there!
