Is Text Messaging Hurting Your Relationship?
When to communicate face-to-face
by "LadyFontaine," a Psychic Advisor on Keen*
Envision the image of a couple, very much in love, sitting next to each other, not saying a word and text messaging each other. Absurd? Well, some relationships really are relying more and more on text messaging, and less on talking. But is this a direction that is beneficial to relationships? Or harmful?

In today's high-tech world, 'texting' has become the new way to communicate. It seems that many men and women use texting as their primary method to converse with each other. Texting has a place in relationships and in your life, but it should not be used as a primary method of "talking."
Don't text message if:
- A message is longer than the allotted characters in a text message
- If a message requires more than one separate text message
- You are making a date
- You are breaking a date
- You are telling a partner you love them for the first time
- You are breaking good news
- You are breaking bad news
- You are breaking up
- You are making up
- You are wishing someone a happy birthday, happy anniversary, etc. It is so much better to do that in person and enjoy the connection and intimacy involved with face-to-face communication!

Hiding behind a text message to confront someone or to express something uncomfortable is taking the convenient, and sometimes cowardly, way out. The end result is that the person receiving the text message has nothing vested. He or she can easily shrug and go on with their life and not respond; their reaction in that moment is forever lost!
Consider receiving a text message that breaks a date or ends a relationship; you don't have the opportunity to express yourself or to get closure. Imagine not hearing or seeing the reaction of your partner when you tell him or her you love them for the first time. Ultimately, when you rely on texting too much you are not getting the best 'bang for your buck' in your relationship.
