iPhone Features That Make Marriage Better

There are millions of things in life that can derail your marriage or even cause a disconnect between you and your partner.  Apple and I are going to give you some marital help.  Here are three simple things you can do to help your marriage thanks to Apple.

  1. Do Not Disturb button - easily my favorite feature everyone needs to be using.  Swipe up from the bottom of your phone and tap the moon.  This is great to do when you first get home from work, before you drive in a car, and right before you go to bed.  You may miss getting or hearing notifications for a few days but it will take the focus off of the less important things.  It definitely could save a life when driving because it prevents the "need to know what that notification sound was" problem that distracts so many drivers.
  2. Built in porn blocker - Great for kids or just keeping your life and mind clear from stuff that will mess with your marriage and relationship with your kids. The best way is to have your spouse/partner enable restrictions with a passcode only they know. Here is how you can do that: Settings > General > Restrictions and select Enable Restrictions. Once restrictions are activated, you'll be prompted to enter a 4-digit passcode—again, make sure it's something your child/partner doesn't know and can't guess and that it isn't the same as the 4-digit code you use to unlock the phone.
  3. Find My iPhone - Can't emphasize this one enough.  If you have kids, then you know you have "lost" your phone and of course it is on silent.  This will play a loud sound for you to find it.  What I love even more about this feature, is that if you have trouble locating your spouse/partner because they aren't answering the phone or your phone is legitimately lost, you can track it and find it and your partner.  This isn't Spygate, but let's be honest, phones go on silent all the time with young kids around, and every now and then, you get worried when your better half doesn't answer.  This feature will definitely help your marriage....or ruin it if you have a REALLY possessive partner.
There are your 3 easy ways to help your marriage and relationship with your kids.  Or to feed your crazy side or stalking behavior.  Thanks Apple for making our lives better or worse, either way, they have made it interesting.
What is your favorite feature on your iPhone or other device?
