Small Acts of Love That Keep Couples Connected

This evening, after finishing Taraweeh prayer and having a little walk home, I was thinking about something small but meaningful that can help couples feel closer, even when they are apart.

Bismillah;

What if a special ringtone is set for a spouse on WhatsApp or on the phone? That way, even when the phone is far away, it is easy to know exactly who is calling or messaging. It is a simple way to stay connected and feel a little closer throughout the day. I really like this idea because it shows a spouse that they are special, that they have a place above everyone else in life. It feels lovely and comforting.

Another small thing is how a spouse’s name is saved in the phone. Instead of just writing the name, why not write “my wife” or “my husband”? It makes the spouse stand out in the contacts and also shows pride and love. It is not about hiding them; it is about showing that the marriage relationship is valued. I find this to be such a beautiful way to express love and respect.

Some men might feel a little shy doing this (True story). They might just write a spouse’s name because they feel embarrassed to put something more personal. But these small gestures, like a special ringtone or a proud label in the phone, can quietly strengthen the bond. They build trust and keep couples feeling connected in very simple and positive ways. But, sisters – masha Allah. No hesitation from them.

These are just small thoughts to share this evening. Sometimes the tiniest actions can make the biggest difference in a marriage.

Salam.

Ramadan Mubarak!
