A new index finds daily communication and affordable travel boost long-distance relationship success.
A new formula called the Long-Distance Love Index, developed by mathematician Bobby Seagull based on a survey of 1,000 university students, predicts the success of long-distance relationships by measuring effort—such as daily calls, texting, and travel—against challenges like cost and distance.
Students averaged 171.3 miles traveled monthly, visited partners three times, spent nearly £170 on travel, and often missed class, yet 72% reported their relationships succeeded.
Key success factors included daily communication, believing the separation was temporary, and emotional support.
The study, commissioned by National Express, highlights affordable travel options like coaches as vital for sustaining relationships amid financial and time pressures.
