It will come down to the two people involved and their commitment to each other.

DH and I dated long distance for the 3 years I was in law school and he was working in Boston. We also lived apart while he attended business school during our engagement and first year of marriage and we just celebrated our 29th anniversary. I have many nephews and nieces that are maintaining long distance relationships with their SOs while they’re pursuing grad school and career opportunities.

The questions/considerations listed by @Publisher are absolutely worth addressing. I know a number of people who have successful marriages that dealt with long distance relationships during dating and their marriage. Some people can do it, some people can’t. Often people don’t find out if they can until they have to do it.

I’d recommend they continue pursuing their respective personal and career goals, support each other but hold off on marriage.
