I take research on the study on relationships with a grain of salt.

The difference between LDRs and regular relationships is a very key component that you can NEVER EVER have in a LDR:

Physical intimacy

No relationship, no matter how strong, can withstand a long-term lack of physical intimacy. I don't think we need a study to tell us that...it's common sense.
