Should You Unfriend Your Spouse on Facebook?

Almost everyone has a Facebook page. It is our way of being more social. But should you unfriend your spouse? According to the Today Show, the answer is yes. Ian Kerner who is a couples counselor says that letting that part of your relationship go (facebook), your relationship will begin to improve immediately. Ian stated:

"I realized for a little while with my own wife that I didn't really want her to be my friend on Facebook," the New York-based therapist told Public Radio International. "I didn't want all of that extra information. If anything I wanted less information — I wanted more mystery and more unpredictability. I didn't want to know that she was posting about being tired or having her third coffee for the day. So I specifically unfriended her during my brief tenure on Facebook. It's something that I do recommend to couples."

 

Most couples spend more time on their phones than they do talking to each other, in today's technological world. Sometimes it is just better, to put the electronics down, and actually talk to your spouse or significant other. It is amazing what you will learn when you talk to someone. It is face to face, it is real-time, and it is more honest and true. I agree with Ian, I think that knowing less sometimes is more when it comes to Facebook. Wouldn't you agree?
