Why the last text matters

Small rituals at the edges of the day are some of the most reliable ways couples stay close, especially through busy or stressful weeks. It does not need to be poetic. “Good night, love you” sent every evening does more than a perfect message once a month. More in daily rituals for couples.

Three tips

• Mention something from their day. “Hope the headache has gone” shows you were listening.
• Do not start a serious conversation. Good night texts are for landing softly.
• Do not wait up for a reply. They may already be asleep, which is the idea.
