Rachel Goldstein and Ben Kuryk try not to let 1,055 miles come between them.
Both 26, they met as freshmen at American University in Washington, D.C. But when they graduated in 2006, Kuryk got a job with a software company in the area, while Goldstein’s job as a commercial real estate broker took her to Miami Beach.
They talk four or five times a day by phone and communicate via text messages, Twitter and Skype. They see each other every three to four weeks.
“We’re professionals at this,” Goldstein says.
