This. A long distance relationship is something that is used until you can be together. How long the two people have to stay apart, as well as how definite their plans to be together, will affect the relationship. I was in an LDR for 9 months before my girlfriend and I finally moved to the same state. We're still together now. Had it been much longer than that, I think it would have been difficult, to be honest. Sometimes, love isn't enough to pull a relationship through... and it's hard to change together as a pair when you are apart for so long. So I really think that it depends on the two people involved. Commitment is a must, and if you have doubts, things will fall apart quickly. If both people are dedicated, and they have a clear sign of when they will be together (as opposed to "someday"), I think it's more likely to last.
