Texting is a very cheap and effective way of communication. For persons in a relationship, however, it may be the very downfall if not well managed and taken care of.
Unrelenting communication through messaging alone will, therefore, have adverse negative consequences on your relationship.
While there is no denying that communication helps you bond emotionally as well as psychologically, how it is done and when it is done matters alot. Once the key techniques have been overlooked, the downfall is usually devastating.
Here is how less texting may strengthen the relationship;
1. It is less distracting
Texting at all times can be very distracting as you will be quintessentially unable to do anything on your own. Embarking on a minimised texting schedule will, therefore, give you more time to concentrate on what you have to do as well as give your all.
Relationships can sometimes limit you and deny you the chance to be yourself which is nearly disastrous as far as personal development is concerned. Every time you see their text, your attention will ultimately shift to them and your presence of mind will become clouded. Once you minimise on texting, you will be able to maintain your presence of mind as you will only do it when you feel it is actually appropriate.
2. You create good space
Less texting enables you to create some space for yourself. Space will be so important in your overall personal development. Unending texting works to negatively deny you this space as you shall have no time for yourself. Every time you feel free, your fingers will directly head to the keyboard or the keypad to send that message to your other. The two of you will have a lesser ability to do your own work or improve personally. You will at times find that you talk about literally everything and do not have anything new to talk about on a daily basis because you get to know them just too well.
3. You have more to talk about in person
Once you limit on texting, you ultimately have more to talk about when you meet in person. You are even forced to say the most difficult things and be more honest in person because there is literally nothing to hide. Having to talk about things in person will help you bond more as compared to texting which is prone to insincerities.
