A Real-Life Guide for Mixed and Long-Distance Couples
A 50-Page Guide for Mixed and Long Distance Couples
This ebook was born from our own journey as a mixed couple — German and Moroccan — navigating love across cultures, languages, beliefs and thousands of kilometers of distance between us.
Over 50 pages, we invite you into the most personal parts of our relationship, from our first meeting to giving you valuable advice about navigating a cross-cultural relationship and long distance.
Whether you're in a long-distance relationship or already living together, this guide is here to support you with real insight, honest reflections and practical tools.
You'll find sections on:
- Communication & Conflict — how we learned to handle disagreements across cultural and personal differences and why fair fighting is essential.
- Traditions, Religion & Holidays — why honoring each other’s background matters, and how shared celebration can build deep connection.
- Love Languages — how we discovered what truly makes each of us feel loved and how we adapted these needs across distance and culture.
- Outside Voices & Prejudices — especially relevant for couples with partners from Arab or North African backgrounds and how we protect our bond from judgment or stereotypes.
- Closing the Gap — what it really means to move to another country for love and how to prepare emotionally and practically.
- Green Flags — signs of emotional safety, mutual respect, and long-term compatibility in cross-cultural relationships.
- Keeping Romance Alive — how to keep love vibrant by engaging with each other’s cultures and staying intentional in everyday life.
The guide also includes bonus material with reflection prompts and date ideas — both for couples in long-distance relationships and those already living together.
This is not a polished love story — it’s a real one. One that we hope will offer you clarity, support, and encouragement as you walk your own unique path in love across borders.
