Are you tired of your partner being glued to their phone? Do you need ways to get them off it and focus on the relationship again?

Ways to Help Your Partner Turn Off Their PhoneHow to Communicate about Screen TimeTips for Making Technology Use Positive

The digital world has taken over and more of us are turning to our screens for entertainment, work and socializing. Unfortunately, too much screen time can lead to a disconnect in relationships – especially when spending quality time together takes a backseat to the latest app or binge watching a show. Spending time together without screens helps to create and maintain connections, build memories, and bring clarity to conversations with your partner. It is important to recognize the signs of tech addiction and take steps to address it in order to maintain a healthy relationship with your partner.

Whether it’s an old-fashioned game night, a movie marathon, or just some conversation time, these tips will help you get your partner’s attention away from their phone and back on you.

Ways to Help Your Partner Turn Off Their Phone

1. Set some ground rules for when it is appropriate to have your phones on. For instance, you could agree to turn off your phones an hour before bedtime or during dinner.

2. Create a list of activities that you two can do together, such as playing board games or reading books in the evening, to encourage each other to put the phones away.

3. Plan a weekend getaway, or even just a day out, where you can disconnect from your phones and just spend time together.

4. Take turns in switching off each other’s phone for specific times when you want to focus on each other.

5. Spend more time doing things that don’t involve your phones, such as going for walks or picnics, to encourage each other to focus on the present moment.

How to Communicate about Screen Time

Communicating about screen time with your partner can be a tricky topic to navigate. To make it easier, start by trying to understand each other’s point of view. Ask questions to learn why the other person may feel a certain way about it, and be open to their responses. Also, try to find a compromise that works for both of you. For example, maybe you can agree on a certain amount of time your partner is allowed to spend on their screens each day. Remember, every couple is different and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to screen time! Be honest and open with each other, and you’ll be able to find a balance that works for your relationship.

Tips for Making Technology Use Positive

Technology use can be a great way to learn, stay connected with friends and family, and have fun. To make sure that it doesn’t become overwhelming, try these tips:

• Set boundaries around when and where devices can be used.

• Talk to your partner about expectations and how to handle any problems that come up.

• Use technology in positive ways, like exploring new interests or learning a new skill.

• Balance out tech time with other activities, like reading or going for a walk.

• Encourage your partner to take breaks from their screens and use their devices responsibly.

• Make sure to spend quality time together without screens as well.

• Set a good example by using technology in a positive way yourself.

When it comes to maintaining a healthy relationship, striking a balance between tech time and quality time together is essential. With the right boundaries, communication, and activities to enjoy together, you can make sure that your relationship stays strong and healthy in spite of technology use.

She hopes that her words can somehow help other struggling moms that feel like they don't have this 'mom thing' totally together. She has two boys under three and in her spare time(what's that?) she enjoys being out in her garden, biking and vegging out watching Netflix. She will never pass down a warm cup of coffee and her favorite past-time is forgetting where she put her car-keys.
