I prefer talking because using other ways like text or facebook seems to really lose the... what's the word I'm looking for? I don't know. Lol! For me and my partner, we made a sort of promise in the beginning of our relationship that we'd never limit our talk to text only or to use text so much that we lose our communication. Does that make sense? It just seems to take the intimacy out of it. We prefer calling each other or talking face to face, but we text each other short things. Almost anytime I text him something, like letting him know to pick up the kids or texting him about my dentist appointment, he'll call instead of text. He says he prefers hearing my voice. How sweet! I'll take it! Lol.
