Globalization, the economic crisis, fast travel, and modern communication devices have facilitated the proliferation of long-distance relationships (LDRs). As LDRs deviate from temporal and spatial conventions and some social norms, they provide an opportunity to study the social construction of time, space, norms, and boundary work, that is, the "practices we use to create, maintain, and modify cultural categories" (Nippert-Eng 1996:7). To understand how different kinds of boundaries, such as those associated with intimacy, marriage, language, ethnicity, and geography, are socially created and also able to be transcended, I conducted qualitative interviews with both married and unmarried couples in LDRs, as well as partners who lived in the same country and were of the same nationality, and partners who lived in two different countries and differed in their nationality (20 couples, 40 individuals total). I used social constructionism cognitive sociology, symbolic interactionism, and ethnomethodology as theoretical frameworks, and applied grounded theory methods in my analysis. In LDRs the boundary between distance and intimacy was blurred, which often occurred in a sociomental space (e.g., cyberspace). By using technology and manipulating temporal experiences participants diminished the significance of separate time zones, created a shared present through synchronized activities, and increased solidarity. The boundary between space and time also waned. As long as couples spent time together, separate physical locations became irrelevant. Borders between countries created a less fluid boundary than distance because of bureaucratic obstacles (e.g., visas). Marriage and children turned out to be the most rigid boundaries. Most respondents considered marriage and coresidence to be essential goals. Many also assumed that children required two parents and coresidence, and that if one parent raised a child in an LDR, it would probably be the mother. These statements highlighted salient norms about marriage, parenthood, and gender. Gender did not make a significant difference in time devoted to the relationship, and who visited more. However, women were more likely than men to relocate. I also found that boundaries were used in exercising agency, creating solidarity, and shifting norms.
