Facebook Bad For Marriage?

Unfriending your partner could be the best way to have a successful marriage, says one relationship expert.

 

Ian Kerner, a New York-based therapist suggested that couples delete each other from their social media friend list to avoid miscommunication and arguments.

 

He said: “There’s something about being in a relationship where you want some unknowingness and some unpredictability,” 

 

“I realized for a little while with my own wife that I didn’t really want her to be my friend on Facebook,”

 

"I didn’t want all of that extra information. If anything I wanted less information, I wanted more mystery and more unpredictability."

 

Meanwhile, a recent survey released by the Pew Research Centre suggests that 25per cent of mobile phone owners in marriage or a relationship feel that the devices causes distractions.

 

"Put the devices down. Studies have shown that even if there’s a device nearby, it can change the texture of a conversation,” said Kerner.
