How Often do you and your spouse "touch base" throughout the day?

My husband and I call or text each other several times a day not only to say I love you, but also to check in and let each other know how our day is going - like if he'll be late getting home from work or to see what he'd like for dinner. It helps us to stay connected even when we are miles apart. How many husbands/wives or even bf/gf do this in their relationships?

my husband and i are also business partners therefore i speak to him by phone normally once during the day. if i don't phone him, he will always phone me in the afternoon to say hello because he hasn't heard from me.

I do not know that I could work with my husband! He would get on my nerves terribly if I had to deal with him during the day. The weekends kill me when he isn't working. I have very few pet peeves, but I experience all of them on weekdays whenever he is not working! :-)

My husband and are always connected. We have the netel walkie talkies so where ever I am he can just beep me. He likes it but I find it emmberassing when I in a restroom and he won't quit beeping me till I answer. It is easy communication though. We have 6 kids so when ever one of us leaves it feels like an eternity even if it is only for an hour. He's always asking me where I am, what I doing ,When I will be home. It's good and annoying at the same time

my husband works and I am a stay at home mom he calls home each evening on his supper break and then again on his way home, to see if we need anything. Sometimes he gets crazy and call 6 or 7 times and that starts to drive me a bit crazy, he has a pre-paid cell and uses up the minutes like they were going out of style.

My husband calls me once in a while through out the day and I do the same, just to check whether he had his food and how his day is going ! If we are online, we get to chat with each other during our free times.. For me, It makes me happy just staying in touch with him, Feels like he is always near to me !!!! Even if he is on a long trip, after he gets home, it doesnt even feel that he was away !!!

I'm happily married, but we still don't do as much as you do. When we are miles apart, we will contact more often. But if nobody's on business, we just maybe contact once to see when we can get home and what to eat. But I love my hubby so much that when we are together,we often express our love and I like to watch him do anything. He's always cute to me.

My husband and I text quite a bit. Sometimes to give suggestions for lunch or dinner, for me to tell him a funny story about our daughter or some tid bit of sports gossip. Lately we have been sending each other naughty messages. We are both too tired by the time he gets home from work but its gets us revved up anyway.

my husband isn't allowed to use the phone at work, so he will call around his lunch time and when he leaves work. sometimes i will call and when he goes to his truck for something he'll check his phone see that i called and call me back real quick!

Since I became unemployed in mid-January, my husband will call home to check in with me during the day, usually before lunch. If I haven't heard from him, I will worry and wind up calling him to make sure all is well. Call me a worry wort. If I am working and am available for phone calls he will also call me to check in. :-)

My husband goes to work around 3am, 4 days a week. He usually calls me after he knows I'll be up to see how the morning is going or just to check in about the rest of his day and when he expects to be home. Three of those days, he doesn't get home until after 4pm, so he works really long days. We talk at least once during the day, sometimes more.
