subject: Are 4g Phones Good For Your Marriage? [print this page] In our days, literally before our eyes, wireless Internet and the associated portable electronics devices completely changed just about everything, so, do not be surprised if marriages are also being greatly affected, and yes by the 4G phones! In terms of business, work and entertainment somehow people are more prepared to incorporate in this technology, but somehow when it comes to marriage and family institutions, people seems to have the tendency to dissociate them from telecommunication technology.
Let's say your company and employer would like to adapt to newer and faster telecommunication technologies, immediately you will have the hope and impression that everything is going to run more efficiently and productivity increases, or you would even be glad that you will have the ease of communication with your co-workers and clients anytime anywhere. The point is, you do feel the positive impacts of 4G phones in your social life.
The luxury of receiving and sending email from anywhere, for example, let you keep updated to your old friends and family members that live far apart, and this is such a huge revolution to social life that no one can deny. But somehow, people seem to hold up the idea that marriage is something too intimate for any telecommunication technology to come between, not to mention high-speed 4G phone!
But regardless of you like it or not, many less conservative couples are starting to incorporate and make Internet phones for example 4G phones a part of their marriage. These internet phones are changing the dynamics of how spouses interact with each other in very significant ways. Some changes are good, while others are bad, but no one can pin point 4G phones as the culprit of fallen or improved marriages, because phones are just phones after all, they are merely neutral and the effects that they bring are depending upon their usage. Here we would like to underline some major issues that 4G phones might affect marriages.
#1 -Communication between spouses becomes more and more constant.
Depending on your own personal view, this can be either an amazing thing, or a disaster, or neither one of those categories. In classical cases of both of the couple are working, spouses have no choice but wait until the end of office hour of working hour to see each other and communicate with each other, now spouses can simple text and call each other at any time of the day. In one sense it increases the level of intimacy between both, because they don't have to be emotionally separated from each other even though they are physically separated. On the other hand, this ease of communication between spouses can cause over saturation of emotions, invasion of privacy and depletion of personal spaces. Let's face it, people are different, some prefer to have a bit of space so that they can be themselves, and other won't mind to be bothered all day long by their spouses and think that is actually good.
#2 -Communication with the "third person" is an ease.
Most marriages came to the tragic end because spouses cheat. When the word "cheat" is being mentioned, one can easily imagine that a husband is going to the bar alone with his alpha male buddies and ends up sleeping with a hot blonde after couple of whiskey shots, and wake up the next morning in a motel realize that his marriage is at stake. Well, with 4G phones, the way a spouse cheats can change, the small fire casual flirting with co-workers can lead to a large forest fire that crumbles marriages, where emotional affairs leads to physical ones.
#3 - The world is becoming smaller
Some people have to travel a great distance to work, for and for a long time, and for spouse to be away for a long time and far away, even healthiest of marriages can suffer the effect, so can you put reliable 4G phone Internet access into this picture?
