It's a "tradition" that we talk around 10am every morning. It's usually only a quick 5 minute conversation and a "love you". We might text once in awhile and if there is something particularly interesting we might talk more than once.

I don't usually call my husband. Who knows what's going on at work - it may be a bad time to be interrupted.

I will text him if something exciting is going on, or I'll do Google Hangouts with him. This way, if he can't talk at the moment, he can just wait to answer until it's a better time.

We usually check in at least once during the day, but not always. We can both get pretty busy.

Only if there's a need that cannot wait until later. Texts? Sometimes. Again, sometimes not.

I call or text her in the morning to see if she made it safely, during lunch for a few minutes, and maybe in the afternoon if she or I are not too busy.

My husband spends A LOT of time in the car or in airports, so more often than not, he's calling me because he's bored.

I tend to know when he's in meetings or with staff, so during those times I try to make it a point to not to disturb him, but in general I wait for him to call me. I'm usually busy dealing with 4 kids anyway.

For the most part, I don't text her at all before 3:00 PM. She's also working before that time.

Maybe after 3:30 PM we'll text occasionally. Usually if I talk to her before I get home, it's to tell her what time I'll be home and if I'm running a little late or not. Just so we can plan what time dinner is ready.

We both have an office for ourselves, so no bother, but we text only in emergency or when we know that both of us have a slow day, and we can "chat" a little-bit on Google chat. Other than that, there is no obligation or expectation that we contact each other every hour - I don't think neither of us would ever put up with this childish/controlling behavior.

Never, unless there is something I want him to bring home. He never hears his phone, or checks his text messages, so its a waste of time anyway.
