The development of communication technology is not an obstacle in establishing long-distance relationships.

The people involved in the relationship will continue to feel the push and pull of conflicting desires in all parts of the life of the relationship. Long Distance Relationships (Long Distance Relationship) require an effective communication process in order to maintain harmonious relationships by using a communication tool in the form of a medium, namely WhatsApp. This research is based on the theory of Relational Dialectics and is supported by Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) theory, complemented by the concept of interpersonal communication theory and the foundation of interpersonal communication.

Also from this research, the five couples hope that the long-distance relationship that is being forged can progress to a more serious stage, namely marriage, looking for the best solution for each other, and learning to understand each other's partners.
