Highlights：

• The effect of text messages on physiology and stress responses is not well studied.

• In this experiment, partners sent supportive or mundane texts to female participants.

• Mundane, but not supportive, messages reduced cardiovascular responses to a stressor.

• These findings highlight the potential impact of texts on a health-relevant outcome.
