Have You Text-Messaged Your Hubby Today? (A Midweek Marriage Moment)

So, have you sent your hubby a text message lately?

Using a cell phone at work is not always possible or easy for a guy because bosses tend to frown on employees taking personal phone calls and that sort of thing...but it's super easy to send a text message just to say you're thinking of him or to tell him how thankful you are for him? It can be nice and quick, and he can look at it over and over again during his stressful day.

Not sure how to send a text? Using your cell phone, go to the address book. Select his cell phone number. Hit the option button that lets you choose what to do with the number (this is usually located next to the call button on most phones...but you may need to play around to figure out how to use yours). This is usually called a "Text Message" or an SMS Message (if you are a blackberry user like me). type a brief message using your thumbs on the keypad, and then hit send. Texting usually costs a few cents per text message (or is free if you have a texting plan with your cell phone service). Added bonus: it doesn't require you to have great service or all of your bars to send a text. At my house, out in the boonies, we don't get cell phone service good enough to have a phone conversation, but I can text quite easily.

You may also send a text via your computer by typing in the email address for the cell phone if that comes with your plan (usually the email addy is the cell phone number @ your server provider). Again, check out the user manual.
