Relationship coach advises on long-distance relationships

Speaking exclusively to YEN.com.gh, a relationship coach, Apostle Eric Okai, Head of E and D School of Marriage and Counselling, gave insights on how to make long-distance relationships work. He, however, advised the youth not to enter such relationships.

"Long-distance relationships can be frustrating if partners don't set clear goals and expectations, make time for meaningful conversations, and be honest about feelings, fears and doubts. This is one type of relationship we advice the youth to desist from since it lacks physical intimacy; it has communication barriers, trust issues and many more challenges."
