4 NOV 2025 · Join Abe and Elaine for the final episode of Love Is in the Air, a podcast that began in 2020 and has spent five years encouraging couples through long-distance relationships and commuter marriages . Together, we’ve shared research-based tools, created hundreds of creative date ideas❤️, offered hope during the lonely nights, and even made real friendships with many of you along the way.
We’re not leaving…just shifting. After 8 years and 9 months of long-distance love ourselves, this podcast became a lifeline for us, and we hope it’s been one for you too. Thank you for listening, sharing your stories, and walking this road with us.
Please share this episode with anyone in a long-distance relationship who needs encouragement.
✨ Stay with us!
We’re continuing the journey on our other podcast: Marriage Is a Joke — relationship advice for married couples and for couples still in the distance. Follow us on Instagram at @marriage.isajoke.
Let’s keep growing, laughing, and loving…together!❤️

22 JUL 2025 · ❤️✈️After 8 years and 9 months of managing love across time zones, video calls, and countdowns, Abe and Elaine finally closed the distance! In this episode, we’re telling the whole story of those last days of distance and the first days together. From the sweet moments to the unexpected bumps, we share what it’s really been like to go from a long-distance relationship to daily life together.
We talk about the pros (more cuddles, fewer dropped calls), the cons (did someone say dish duty?), and the moments that had us laughing, learning, and re-learning how to do life as a couple under the same roof.
Plus, we’re giving you practical tips if you’re planning your own transition from long-distance to close-up and personal. Whether you’re weeks away from moving in or just dreaming about that day, this episode is packed with stories, laughs, and encouragement to help you feel ready.
This is the second-to-last episode of our long-distance journey podcast—don’t miss it.❤️✈️

5 APR 2024 · We are on a unique journey being in a LDR or commuter marriage. ❤️✈️Sometimes it’s like driving a bus 🚌down a bumpy road! We all know we want to be with our person and the distance won’t stop our love! However there are parts of us that struggle with the distance, parts that hate the distance and there are even parts of us that enjoy time apart. At different times ….different parts of us are driving that LDR bus.🚌 Why? Why do we vacillate from one part to the other? Join us for a fascinating discussion about these parts of us from the modality of Internal Family Systems with our guests Tammy Sollenberger, LCMHC & Henry D. Beckwith, Psy.d.
Tammy and Henry are not only in a long distance relationship themselves, but are also licensed psychotherapists who specialize in the IFS model. You will be shocked to learn how helpful it is to look at how we cope with distance through this lens! ❤️✈️
If you would like to learn more about our guests or check out Tammy’s book or podcast you can find out more at these links!
