Why Texting Is the Worst Way to Save Your Relationship

Texting may be quick and convenient—but it’s one of the most damaging ways to communicate when emotions are high.
When you’re trying to repair your marriage or talk about something meaningful, tone, pacing, and timing matter. Text can’t convey empathy, facial expressions, or body language. What you meant as vulnerability can easily come across as accusation.

Most couples I work with don’t realize that even innocent text exchanges—especially when trying to “hash things out”—can spiral into misunderstanding and resentment. You hit send before you’ve finished your thought. Your spouse responds defensively before reading your next message. And suddenly, the thread is a battlefield.

Real connection happens when you slow down and show up. Look each other in the eye. Let your voice carry the emotion your heart is trying to say.

That’s what I help couples learn in Marriage in Bloom, my six-month marriage intensive. You’ll learn how to communicate in a way that brings healing, not more hurt.
