This is quite different from the social media question in that some people spend a lot of time on their phones for purely work related reasons. The time spent on the phone may affect your relationship in many ways. When someone stops to take a call it makes the other feel less important. You, therefore, need to set boundaries and balance things between your relationship and work.
Being on the phone isn’t necessarily a bad thing especially if you are on it for the progress of your work or career. Some people have to leave their phones on because of the nature of their jobs e.g. doctors, rescue response supervisors etc. Just be sure to discuss in detail the importance of needing your phone as to ease the anxiety of your spouse.
