I don’t even understand the English translation.
This question relates to:French lesson "Using the infinitive form of verbs to express the English "-ING""

Hi Dernier,
It means simply you can't conduct a successful loving relationship if you are always staring at your phone ....

Hello, Cecile,
YOUR translation is quite clear, but I agree with Dernier that the "doe-eyes at the screen in-between" is a bit obscure. To me it resembles a Google-translation or perhaps an obscure Imagist poem ... you have to kind of guess at the meaning.
