Do cellphones help or hurt communication in a relationship? Both can be true, but keeping this phone habit can actually help your relationship: texting. Therapists say that arguing over text gives couples several conflict resolution tools that they wouldn't have in person. You can take some time to cool down before responding, it can ease difficulty of expressing oneself in the heat of the moment, or for those that tend to get heated, a chance to re read and edit what they're saying.
This method isn't for every situation, or even every couple. It's best to discuss this with a couples therapist so that you can create boundaries and strategies for conflict resolution that work best for you, your partner, and the situation.
