Maintain Strong Relationships With Daily Service Text
There is no magic bullet or divine secret to maintain a romantic relationship – every couple is different. But if there’s one thing that almost always helps, it’s more communication. And yes, even a stupid, superfluous look will do.
What’s the last text message you sent to your significant other? Maybe about dinner? Or maybe a discussion of errands or household chores? There is nothing wrong with this communication – it is necessary, but when was the last time you tried to make your loved one laugh? GQ’s Sophia Benoit invites you to send these “maintenance messages” to your significant other at least once a day.
Benoit says the key to good technical writing is that it doesn’t convey any important information like directions, plans, requests, or soft questions like “How are you?” The text should be a joke between you, a funny photo or link that you think the other person will like, a bizarre dream you had, or something that just says you think of the other person. Even complaining that you know they don’t like it either will do. Also, these service texts should be kept separate from your nudity exchange if you do it together. So keep it cute, funny, or individual, but not sexy.
If you’re at the very beginning of a relationship, supportive text is great for when a few days have passed and you haven’t seen each other. It shows the other person that you are listening to them and remember little things, like how much they love monkeys, or how they hate it when people wear ties with short sleeved shirts, or that you enjoyed watching a certain TV show with theirs. But it’s also good for longtime couples looking to resurrect a romance that may have faded in the last couple of years. According to Benoit, these texts say: “Hey, I’m going through life, come with me.” Who wouldn’t like it?
