Being in a  long distance relationship is the best way to test true love like no other types of relationships can. It requires sacrifice, understanding, special willingness, communication, and the desire to keep the relationship alive despite the distance. In a long distance relationship, you can't be together with your partner and you obviously can't do things together like any of the other relationships. And the only tool that you have is your words. Keeping a long distance relationship burning is possible no matter how many miles apart you both may be.
