Thanks to the constant notifications, calls, social media and those WhatsApp messages, you are now spending more time with your phone rather than with your loved one. So before your wife goes crazy on you and throw away your costly indispensable piece of you (well smartphones are still costly these days!); it's time you started following these 8 steps to keep your partner happy!

Plugin their dying smartphone before bed

Just in case you find your partner's phone displaying a low charge indication before hitting bed, plug them into the nearest charging socket overnight. This will make you partner really happy when they wake up! (oh, yes phones don't burst these days when they are charged overnight)

Share your phone when their dies

Did your partner's phone run out of charge? Well, its time you share your phone with him/her. Allow you to check official mails using your phone. Don't worry he/she won't probably check yours (so rest assured!)

Show them (occasionally) how important they are!

Are you spending some time together after a hard day's work. And now, your phone is vibrating heavily as someone is calling you up. To your utter dismay, you find that 'someone' is your boss. Well, its time you turned the phone screen back off and pay attention to your partner instead. Show them how important they are. (Beware: Your boss may also be reading this!)

Time for some crazy selfies! #SelfieLove

Selfie craze is catching up. And your partner may probably be as crazy as those other girls. So time you got into the frame and shot a few selfies together! No need to look handsome, just look cool. Be crazy and capture memories.

Share your Passcode

Trust is one of the pillars of a healthy relationship. Sharing the passcode/pattern of your smartphone with your partner is indeed healthy habit. It will not only build trust, but will also help them feel secured about you. Remember, Sharing is Caring!

Try to pick up their calls even when you are busy!

Busy in office thanks to those deadlines set by the management? Besides that, your smartphone is also ringing. Not it isn't your boss calling again, instead it's your partner. Pick up the call, have a chat, you may feel better. Better off than just ignoring the call and creating further problems (apart from the one created by your boss!) on reaching home.

Teach Rhymes to your new one (on your smartphone!)

Every wife loves to see their husband taking care of their kids. Hence make a good use of YouTube and start taking rhyme classes of your new one on your smartphone itself!

Help your partner with e-Shopping

Flipkarts, Amazons and Snapdeals have changed the way people shop. Well, you and your partner might be shopping using their e-tailers too. So instead of hopping from one marketplace to another (on the roads), you can now easily sit at your home or office and choose apparels for them! One your done simply ping them on WhatsApp or use the native ping system of the e-tailer app (provided they have it.)
