Phone Manual For Couples

By Aunty Omowunmi

1. Don’t make put your phone on silent mode, flight mode or turning it off each time you’re with your spouse. It makes it look suspicious
2. Save your spouse’s contact using a unique title like ‘Ifemi”, “Mi corazon” “Ademi”e.t.c, saving your spouse’s contact with his or her name really makes it unromantic.
3. Kindly respond to your spouse’s phone call with romantic words and romantic voice. For examples “my baby” “My King”. Your conversation starts determines how the connection chemistry flows. If you begin your conversation romantically, you two will enjoy talking with each other on phone and missing each other every seconds
4. End the conversation on a sweet tone. Always remember to say I love you, gist well even add little amebo 🤣 to the conversation, always compliment each other and end the call with a smile and a blow of kisses
5. Always chat with your spouse
6. If you will be busy, notify your partner you will not be able to pick up calls or reply texts promptly. Inform your partner what you will be doing and approximately for how long. This prepares your partner and brings peace because your partner will not feel ignored
7. Flirting on phone is good but only flirt with your partner
8. Tell off people who try to flirt with you, entice you and charm you on phone. Let them know that you are taken
9. Take lots of photos and videos together to capture moments. You will need those pics and videos in future as you look back
10. When you go out on dates, keep the phone away, minimize phone use so that you focus on each other
11. Don’t make a habit of walking away from your partner to answer phone calls. Your partner will perceive you are hiding something or having an affair. Love is about perception
12. After the date and you don’t live together; man, call her up and check on her, tell her you got home safe; lady, send him a text, thanking him for a wonderful time
13. Unless it’s an emergency, when you can’t reach your partner and you probably know he/she is at work or doing something; don’t keep calling and texting desperately. You will only look like a nag to your partner and that will make your partner detest phone contact with you. Relax, your partner will see your missed call and text
14. When you see a missed call or text from your partner, please call back or reply as soon as you can. Put your partner at ease
15. Save your partner’s phone number as an emergency number to be contacted incase something happens to you and your phone is locked
16. Avoid fights and arguments over the phone, they are difficult to manage and leave a bad feeling when you hang up, thus negatively affecting how you two relate. Talk about serious issues that are volatile face to face
17. When your partner offends you or you two aggrevate each other, never refuse to pick up your partner’s phone call. That only makes matters worse. Keep the line of communication open so that you work things out. If you can’t talk at the moment you are hurting, just pick up the call and say “I can’t talk right now” and your partner will understand
18. Inform your partner when and why you need to turn off your phone when you two are apart. Keep your partner from worrying
19. When you two are having fun together, it is good to celebrate your love online but don’t post too much about your lovelife. Some things are best kept private. The world doesn’t have to know every detail of how you love each other
20. When you two are having problems, don’t vent about your partner directly or indirectly on your social media posts
21. Don’t let your partner get news about you from social media like your online friends. Tell the news to your partner first, and then post online
22. If your partner tries calling you but your line is engaged, explain who you were talking to. If someones calls you when you’re with your partner, say who it was. Transparency and clarity enhances trust
23. Remember it is both your role to communicate. None of you should feel he/she is forcing a conversation or is doing much of the talking. Communication takes two
24. Put away the phone when your partner needs your undivided attention, especially in the bedroom. Don’t be intimate, holding your phone, more than you hold your partner

Phone use can affect your relationship/marriage negatively or positively. Be smart as you use your smart phone.
