We had gotten into a good morning routine purely so he’d know I was awake and he could text me. Fast forward a few years when he was deployed and 6 hours ahead of me, I still did it but occasionally missed a day because I had a work emergency to deal with ASAP. He finally told me he would get excited around lunch time because I always woke up between 6-7am so he’d stare at his phone while he ate and wait for my good morning alert. I never missed again after that.
Try it and see.
My husband and I were separated for two years and he sent me a good morning email most mornings. I liked it.
