A new way to connect with your Long Distance partner!
Posted on 17. Aug, 2010 by lisa in coupledtogether
Coupledtogether.com has created a new way to connect with your long distance partner. The website allows you to create an online “space” to share – just for the two of you! In your space you can watch YouTube videos simultaneously, share photos (automatically looking at the same picture at the same time), leave notes for each other, chat (instant messenger style), draw on a blackboard together and more.
Watch the quick video above to learn more!
We are still a beta product (meaning that we are still early in the design and working hard to make it better). Want to help us make it better? Send us feedback – through clicking on the “Feedback” tab visible when you login along the right side of the site, or sending me an email (lisa@coupledtogether.com). We want to hear all the good and bad stuff you have to say about it.
We have a new look (as I’m sure you noticed)!

Holidays are quickly approaching
Posted on 01. Nov, 2009 by lisa in General Relationship Advice, coupledtogether
Its November! That means the winter holiday season will be here soon. I know it may seem early – but, now is probably a good time to start thinking about what things you can do for your partner to make this holiday season special.
Look back through previous ideas we have listed – more will be coming! But in general, this is just a reminder to get that little part of the back of your head thinking/noting/finding/noticing good ideas.

Your Long-distance Relationship and the Environment
Posted on 15. Oct, 2009 by lisa in General Relationship Advice, Other sites, coupledtogether
Today is Blog Action Day and this years theme is Climate Change. I’m assuming we have all heard about Climate Change (basically the temperature of the earth seems to getting warmer and more variable due to human activity and overuse).
I’m not going to suggest that you to see your partner less (I always think you should see your long distance partner more!), but there are a number of things long distance couples can do help reduce their environmental impact:
- When you go visit your partner take the extra couple of minutes to make sure all the lights are turned off and unplug appliances (computers, microwaves, lights, etc) so that they don’t consumer electricity while you are gone
- Take non-stop flights. 50% of carbon emissions are released during takeoff and landing.
- Buy carbon offsets for your travel. Carbon offsets aren’t going to save the planet, but they can ease its burden.
- Support green airlines. We need air travel. It is one the greatest achievements of humanity. However, we also need to work with companies who are trying to make air travel sustainable.
- Volunteer to clean up your neighbourhood. You can either do this together in one partners location – or separately. And why wait for an “event”? Nothing is stopping you both from heading out the door today and picking up garbage in a local park or planting trees around your area.
Have more ideas for things long distance couples can do to reduce their environmental impact?
