More importantly though, is this article also follows up with five tips you can use to proof your marriage against Facebook. If you can follow these practices, your chances of keeping a strong healthy marriage will increase. Use social media to make life easier....not create problems in your marriage!

So Everybody Knows Where Everybody Goes
I ran across this short video about a pastor in New Jersey that is encouraging his entire congregation to give up Facebook. He suggests that Facebook is ruining relationships. Many of the congregation are not willing to do this.
Other suggestions are to use the same Facebook account for both parties or to share passwords so each person can look at what the other is doing. Again, most of the congregation are not even willing to do this. Do you find it strange that two people in a married relationship are reluctant to share a password with their spouse?

Social Media is Destroying Marriages
by: Greg Ward
OK, my first blog about how social media and Facebook in particular are destroying marriages. Facebook has been around long enough now that there is enough data collected to support the fact that Facebook is responsible for wrecking marriages. One might argue that it is still a person's fault and that they are using Facebook in an inappropriate way, but hey, we are all human and we all can easily fall into temptation. Facebook is basically a temptation that is easily accessible.
To kick off the discussion, I wanted to post this video below. It's the story of one man's loss of his wife after 20 years of marriage due to her addiction to Facebook.
Let's hear your comments about the affects of Facebook on marriage.
