Presence is an important love language.
A phone on the table quietly says, “I’m here… until something else pings.” Let’s make attention sacred.
The Two-Phone Rule (my couple ritual):
• When we’re together, only one phone may be out—yours or mine, not both.
• Meals = device-free. Phones go in a bag, drawer, or another room.
• Run it for 7 days, then debrief what shifted.
Make it gentle + doable:
• Name exceptions (on-call, kids) so they don’t read as disconnection.
• Use a one-line consent: “I need 2 minutes to check one thing—then I’m all yours.”
• Close with connection: a 10-second hug or 6-second kiss after meals.
Attention without intention. No fixing. No scrolling. Just, I’m with you. That’s how trust grows.
