Do you often visit social networking sites, such as Facebook, MySpace or Bebo?
Are you in a committed offline relationship?
If so, I invite you to read the rest of this article and facebook proof your marriage or relationship.
In case you're not familiar with all the recent newspaper reports and articles surrounding social networking sites, British lawyers are claiming that Facebook was cited in one in five divorce petitions in the UK last year. Many marriage and relationship counsellors are also reporting that social media issues are becoming a problem for couples and thier relationships.
Here are 3 ways in which you can Facebook-proof your relationship today!
1, Explore:
I invite and encourage couples at my own counselling practice to explore how they want to use a social networking site.
* Explore with your partner your individual expectations about visiting social networking sites. Pick a time when you can give each other your full attention and give some thought to your needs and expectations in advance.
The following questions give you some topics to think about:
* What level of flirting is acceptable to you?
* How much time do you spend on social networking sites compared to the time you spend together?
* What about confidentiality? Is it appropriate to post about your partner?
You can tailor some more topics to suit your particular relationship needs.
2, Rules:
Make a common set of rules that you will both abide by so that you have a common frame of reference. Make sure you create a level playing field by being open and honest with each other - even if you believe your partner will not like what you have to say. Here are some sample rules; I'm not saying that you should agree to these particular rules, I invite you to come up with your own set of rules based on the results of your exploration; these are merely food for thought:
* We do/don't allow access to each others personal profile.
* For every 30 minutes we spend on Facebook we will spend an hour talking together.
* Be clear about what sort of personal information is acceptable to share with friends and/or acquaintances.
* Nobody's perfect; what do you do if one of you breaks your rules?
Remember, it can be tempting after an argument to post hurtful or negative comments about your partner or the relationship and those comments can come back to haunt later on.
Although you may have to compromise on some rules there will be much less chance of destructive secrets later on.! By being open and honest you can feel good about yourse
