Does “Facebook” Destroy Marriages?

December 23, 2009

According to one report, twenty Percent (20%) of recently-filed divorces mention the social-networking site, Facebook, as a contributing factor.  While this may surprise some, it does not  surprise us (except for the sheer magnitude).  Working to help people improve their marriages, while being heavily involved in social networking ourselves, we see that the danger is obvious and pervasive.   We have personally witnessed the rapid decline of seemingly-healthy marriages simply by following some of our friends on Facebook.  What do you think?

Check out the article here: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2780179/Divorces-blamed-on-Facebook.html?=&ATTR=News; The Gospel According to Matt understands that the source (SUN) is a tabloid newspaper, but believes the principle holds true even if the statistics are sketchy.
