Kate Mara's Marriage Rule Is Perfect For Anyone in a Long Distance Relationship

    "All the traveling we both have to do for work can make it hard."

    Some people say "distance makes the heart grow fonder." Well, as someone who's been in a long distance relationship, I'm here to say distance sucks!

    But there are ways to keep the spark alive when you don't get to see your significant other as much as you'd like and actor Kate Mara recently shared hers.

    In a new interview with Shape magazine, Kate opened up about the agreement she set up with her husband Jamie Bell to ensure they don't go too long without seeing each other.

    "I love knowing that I have a partner for life. I feel very proud to call Jamie my husband and to have made that commitment to him."

    "I’m very protective of our marriage…all the traveling we both have to do for work can make it hard."

    That's where the two-week rule comes in.

    "We have a rule that we will never go longer than two weeks without seeing each other."

    "Even if we have to spend all day traveling to have just 24 hours together, it’s worth it in order to have a strong relationship.”

    How cute is that?!

    Now, obviously not everyone has the financial capacity to travel every two weeks, but it's still an amazing idea. And hey, there's always FaceTime.
