Save your relationship by avoiding the following:
1. Don’t always use your phone when you’re having dinner, having a drink, or having coffee with your special someone.
2. Don’t always take your phone into the bathroom and don’t get used to using it every time you’re in the bathroom.
3. Don’t talk on the phone all the time while driving in the car with your special colleague.
4. It’s okay to chat with friends online. But never chat with another person when you chat with your partner.
5. Don’t answer your phone on a date, it will ruin the date unless it’s a very important call.
6. Don’t make it a habit to put your phone on silent mode or turn it off every time you are with your partner. You look like you’re hiding something.
7. Save your partner’s phone number using a special title like “husband”, “love”, “wife”, “sweetie”. Or save with a title and the official name. If you only use the official name, your partner will look like any other contact on your phone.
8. Answer your partner’s call with loving, loving words like “Hello love”, “Hey honey”. How a conversation begins determines how it unfolds. If you start warm, you two will be happy to talk on the phone with each other.
9. End the conversation on a high note. Say “I love you”, say a joke, a compliment, a warm phrase before hanging up. Hang up with a smile.
11. Flirting on the phone is fine, but only flirting with your partner.
12. Let people know who try to flirt with you, seduce you and charm you on the phone. Let them know you’re being taken.
13. Take lots of photos and videos together to capture moments. You will need these pictures and videos in the future when you look back.
14. When you go out, keep the phone away, minimize phone use so you can focus on each other.
15. Let your partner know when and why you need to turn off your phone when you’re both apart. Protect your partner from worry.
16. If your partner tries to call you but your line is busy, explain who you spoke to. If someone calls you while you’re with your partner, say who it was. Transparency and clarity strengthen trust.
17. Remember, it’s your job to communicate. Neither of you should feel like he/she is forcing a conversation or talking a lot. Communication takes two.
18. When you’re both having fun, it’s good to celebrate your love online, but not post too much about your love life. Some things are best kept private. The world doesn’t need to know every detail of how much you love each other.
19. Don’t get into the habit of walking away from your partner to answer calls. Your partner will notice that you are hiding something or that you are having an affair. Love is about perception.
20. Unless it’s an emergency where you can’t get hold of your partner and probably know they’re at work or doing something. Stop calling and texting desperately. You just look like a nag to your partner and that will discourage your partner from getting in touch with you over the phone. Relax, your partner will see your missed call and text.
21. If you see a missed call or text from your partner, please call back or reply as soon as possible. Calm down your partner.
22. After the date and you don’t live together. Man, call her and check her out, tell her you got home safe. Lady, send him a text and thank him for a wonderful time.
23. Save your partner’s phone number as an emergency number so you can be notified if something happens to you and your phone is locked.
24. Avoid arguments and arguments on the phone. They are difficult to handle and leave you with a bad feeling when you hang up, which negatively affects the relationship between the two of you. Talk about serious issues that are volatile face to face.
25. When your partner insults each other, never refuse to answer your partner’s call. That only makes things worse. Keep the line of communication open so you can find your way around. If you can’t speak at the moment you’re hurt, just answer the call and say “I can’t speak right now.” Your partner will understand.
26. If you both have problems, do not directly or indirectly reveal anything about your partner in your social media posts.
27. Don’t let your partner find out about you from social media like your online friends. Tell the news to your partner first and then post it online.
28. Put the phone away when your partner needs your undivided attention, especially in the bedroom. Don’t be intimate and hold your phone but more than your partner.
