Impact of social media on husband-and-wife relationship

Abstract

A quantitative research study investigates social media effects on marital relationships while focusing on communication types and trust levels and relationship contentment. The fast integration of digital technologies into everyday life makes social media function as a relational device yet it also creates marriage conflicts. An investigation examines the effects social media has on the quality of communication and relational cooperation between married partners. The research team collected information from various backgrounds of respondents through standardized survey questions which were evaluated using basic percentage calculations. The research indicates that intense social media usage disrupts direct human interaction because it diminishes relationship trust and degrades marital contentment levels. The use of digital distractions causes married couples to experience impaired understanding along with emotional alienation. Social connections through social media exist but extended social media use typically creates problems within relationships. The study provides fundamental knowledge about contemporary marriages during the digital era and commands attention to maintain both social media realism and mindfulness for relationship health.
