Commute!
I got together with my boyfriend about 6 months before starting grad school in another state. We did the long distance thing for 5 years and are now married, work at the same university, and have a child.
Long-distance relationships can work as long as both people are committed to it. Both of these people are currently in "temporary" positions-she in grad school and he on a post-doc. Why not work towards building the kind of vitae that will give them the choice of jobs. Many universities now understand that an agressive spousal hire program will allow them to recruite the best and brightest young faculty.
