Facebook and Marriage

Now this post will be short and straight to the point.

So pretty much what we discussed in class was that once you got married it would be best to create a facebook that you both shared. Therefore you both would share the same friends, and honestly, if you're married and you have nothing to hide, so it shouldn't be a big deal right? Well some people feel uncomfortable, don't see the point. The thing is, is that once you are married you not only share a home, bed, bathroom, etc., but you also share friendships. You know how they say that when you get married you're getting married to your spouse's family as well? Well friends come along with that delio as well. I'm not going to lie...for those of you who have close single friends of the opposite sex, is going to be difficult, for some, to keep that friendship how it has always been. That is why it is wise for you to not only introduce your friends to your future spouse, but get to know theirs as well. Facebook comes with drama for some people, and that's the last thing you want in your marriage. If sharing a Facebook is a big deal for both of you, then there are some things you need to work out. Now, you don't HAVE to share one, but it doesn't hurt either. If you both trust each other 100% and don't see a reason why you should share your Facebook, that's totally fine! But it does help avoid secrets from each other, or even cheating on your spouse. If you both share a lot of the same friends already, it should not be that big of deal. It can be an awkward change, just because you are both used to having your own personal profile and what not, but it can really help. I know that there will be a split on people who agree and disagree with this, but hey, it's not for everyone and those who don't do it are not doomed for divorce. However, for others it can help strengthen their marriage and bond with one another. So wherever you fall with this "issue", you should all at least think about it!
