Tips for better long-distance calls

  • Agree on a rhythm. Daily quick check-ins plus a longer weekly call works for many couples.
  • Put the phone down. Give calls your full attention. See active listening.
  • Don’t force it. Short calls on busy days are fine; consistency beats length.
  • Talk about the hard stuff, too. Distance makes it easy to keep things “nice” and avoid issues. See communication in marriage.
