When your away nothing beats a phone call.

Making a call is easy and says so much.

           When you are apart from each other sometimes it is hard to call.  Time zones are different and both of you have things still going on.  Texting works great as a quick, "HI I love you alternative"  however there is nothing like hearing you partner tell you that they love you.  Especially when they are many miles away.  So when you find yourself in this situation set up call times and stick to them.  Try to figure out the best time to speak to each other that doesn't interfere with your schedules.  Always make a back up plan for when something comes up so that you just don't leave your partner flat.  You can say well I will either call at 8pm or 11pm in case my meeting runs long.  This will also give you time to get excited over the call.
