Effects of Social Media on Marriage and Divorce

As social media becomes an increasingly essential platform for keeping in touch with friends, family, and neighbors, you may have noticed that it’s crept into virtually every corner of your life. But have you ever wondered how social media could impact your relationship with your spouse? Learn about some of the most surprising effects of social media on marriage and divorce.

Social Media Limits Meaningful Connections With Your Spouse

If you automatically reach for your smartphone or refresh Facebook on your tablet every time you have a moment to spare, you might not be surprised to learn that social media limits your ability to engage in real life. While social media usage can affect all types of relationships, it can be particularly harmful to your marriage, which thrives on an in-person connection.

Online Connections Can Prompt Infidelity

In some cases, social media gives users the ability to reconnect with old flames or develop deep relationships through online platforms. A few innocent online conversations can escalate quickly, putting your marriage in peril.

Social Media Can Paint Unrealistic Pictures

If you’ve ever wished that your marriage was more like the relationships you see on social media, it’s important to understand that many users depict their marriages in an unrealistic way. Social media rarely captures the whole story; instead, it allows users to create the jealousy-inducing narrative they prefer.

Using Social Media During a Divorce Can Worsen the Situation

During a divorce, it may be in your best interest to keep a low profile online, as your social media posts could be used against you. This is especially true if you discuss or even hint at relationships, money, or other contentious issues related to your divorce on social networking.

Whether social media has already impacted your marriage or you need to ensure that your social media activity doesn’t affect your divorce, professional legal advice is essential. Contact our team of divorce lawyers at Figueroa Law Group in Melbourne, Florida, for advice you can trust.
