My interviewees reported that as commitment in a romantic relationship increases, texting is no longer the main portal for communication between the partners. They claimed that they like to hear the person's voice more often when they become more serious with them, however texting is still used a lot because throughout the day because the two people keep in constant contact through text messages. Texting is used to keep each other updated on the events of the day and to let the other person know that you're thinking of them. Also, because there is an increased amount of face-to-face interaction with increased commitment, there are more opportunities to communicate with the absence of technology.
