MOBILE PHONE ETIQUETTE
When you miss your special one, call him/her. "I miss you" means nothing if you don't do anything about it
Sometimes what your spouse wants is not even an hour long phone conversation from you. A one or a few minutes phone call is enough to brighten up your spouse's day
If you two are in a long distance relationship, don't ignore or stop calling; especially if phone calls are the only way to connect
Don't always text and chat. Sometimes make that phone call, it is more intimate
Don't attack your spouse with words such as "Where have you been, the phone call rang for a while? What have you been doing?" It makes your spouse defensive at the onset and communicates you are quick to suspect your spouse simply for picking the call seconds late
If you see your spouse's missed call, return them
Don't order your spouse to give his/her phone to the person near them to prove what they are saying is true. It is demeaning
Start phone calls warmly and end phone calls warmly. It makes your spouse enjoy talking to you
Before you tell your spouse what you called him/her for, find out how he/her is. It shows care. Don't just go straight at saying "Send me money for fuel, I am stuck"
Don't make it a habit to always walk away from your spouse when speaking to someone else over the phone. Your spouse might think you are hiding something
Don't be harsh when talking to your spouse over the phone, especially when he/she is in public. It will make your spouse avoid picking up your calls
Sometimes video call your spouse, to show your spouse you wanted to see his/her smile and to share a moment
Don't hang up calls on your spouse, even if you two have an argument. It communicates disrespect. If you two are having a not so pleasant conversation, you can say "Hun, I don't think this conversation is going well. I love you. Please allow me to end the call, we will talk later". That thoughtful ending alone will help you two solve the issue maturely.
