I came across this article I wanted to share. The link is pasted below. This article describes how easily it can be to fall into the traps of Facebook and to start an inappropriate relationship behind the back of your spouse.
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?
