Chris used his relationship experience as resource material while writing this book. With his past relationships, he felt empty inside. He was married with two children, but his wife left, taking the kids with her due to his military service and constant relocating. While entering other relationships for the wrong reasons and looking for "that someone or some thing," he finally realized what he was missing.
His relationship with God grew over the years. While waiting for God to work a miracle in his life, he's had plenty of "learning" experiences.
Chris believes that God placed Teresa in his life at the precise moment she was needed, then enabled the relationship to evolve from friendship into the fulfilling loving partnership it is today. Chris gave his life to Jesus, and was born again in July of 2013.
Developing a closer relationship with God was his key to seeing the light. Teresa was fortunately in that light and helped (and is still helping) him see things from various perspectives.
Chris has served his country for over 22 years. He has been in the military as a Defense Department employee, as a civilian defense contractor, and has worked in many areas around the world. All those years spent abroad have taught him the secrets revealed in this book.

Relationships aren’t easy to begin with, but add the element of being a long distance apart and the difficulty increases exponentially. After making it through the storm and staying together, Chris Stinchfield and Teresa LaVine decided to write The Keys To A Long-Distance Relationship: A Couple’s Guide. Chris and Teresa include factors such as communication, trust, patience, faith, and respect as necessary components to being able to preserve a relationship which is separated by a long distance. A successful long distance relationship is one that continues to grow, based upon these key factors which will continue further into the future when the couple is finally able to be together. The resources to enhancing your relationship through these key factors are found in this guide, along with further resources and support through other media sources to assist with the process.
I was greatly intrigued by this book because I, too, survived a long distance relationship with a lady from South America to whom I am now married. What I discovered was that Christ Stinchfield and Teresa LaVine hit it right on the head. The advice that is given and the keys that are listed are almost exactly those that my wife and I found to be necessary in maintaining a meaningful and lasting relationship that continued to grow even within our marriage. Trust, patience, and respect are certainly essential to all relationships and the ability to communicate them, which is often limited when there is a large distance separating the parties. Insightful, practical and helpful; The Keys to A Long Distance Relationship will certainly enhance the relationship of those who utilize the keys found within.
