Depending on noun here the correct option is
There seem to be two main causes of long-distance relationships.
If the sentence had singular noun, "seem" would be used.
There seems to be one cause of long-distance relationships.

So you mean if the sentence was "There seems to be two main causes of long-distance relationship." This would be the right option, right?

No, if the sentence is "There seems to be two main causes of long-distance relationship." then it is incorrect, it should be "There seem to be two main causes of long-distance relationship."
