How often should couples talk or text each day?

There is no standard number. What matters is that both partners are comfortable and feel connected. Some couples message all day, others speak once in the evening. If one person feels ignored or smothered, talk about it and agree on a rhythm that suits both.

Create safe moments, such as walks or car rides, and ask open questions like "What was the hardest part of your day?" Listen without fixing or judging. Share your own feelings first. Some people need many small chances before they open up.
