Long Distance

So, what are some ways you make long distance not feel so far away. My husband and I are both in the navy and got stationed on opposite coasts, it's really hard not having him here and if I stay in all the time focusing on it I get depressed, but if I go out I take it off my mind and forget to communicate and then we fight a lot. I just need ways to make it easier or for him to feel like he's close to me and vice versa. Thanks guys.
