interesting, but here's an idea----don't be on facebook 24 hour a day. Interact with your spouse and not the 1,000 "friends" you have. Complete joke of an article.

This is silly - Facebook doesn't destroy relationships. People destroy relationships. And apparently look for any excuse like a social media network as their reason. Unhealthy habits, jealous motives, selfish actions have always been there in relationships - FB and other social media like it just put those issues under a much bigger magnifying glass. I agree with the first commenter - if you want to grow a relationship, you have to put time and commitment into it. Not bandwidth.

Are you saying that by not looking at your spouse's status, there will be more mystery? That's nuts; you live together. You know if they are flatulent. Now maybe if your spouse says something exciting you know nothing about... Social networking is not the end all. You should advocate that couples unplug once in a while and do things together in the real world.

Um, I don't know about you but in the real world, it's a really bad idea to marry someone you don't know. Along with not knowing how many times a day they buy a cappuccino, you also don't know if they have a felony arrest record, habitually beat children or possess a credit score of 500. Normal, healthy people who are confronted with a mystery want to solve it; they don't trot out to *marry* it. You need to get yourself a hobby, sir.

The behaviors you're outlining here are stalking, possessive behaviors, which wouldn't be conducive to their respective marriages any more than you're claiming Facebook is, even if the spouses involved never got on the Internet at all.

I know this is an old article but it had to be said.
