1. Your time is wasted on mindless scrolls rather than engaging with your husband.
Before I got rid of social media, I noticed that social media was using me for the purpose of gearing my attention away from my husband. Every time I was with my husband it was a constant interaction with my social media feeds rather than engaging with my husband. Social media was removing my attention on growing my relationship with my husband and putting my sole focus on random social media feeds.
Your time is way too precious on this earth and God doesn’t want you to waste your life away into social media feeds.
2. Communication is broken
Because we tend to turn to social media to solve our problems, gripe about who said what on other people’s feeds we no longer know how to communicate with our husbands.
We rely on our social media friends to solve our marriage problems instead of going to God to get advice causing a broken communication. The less and less we communicate our feelings to our husbands, the more distance we are creating between each other.
Then, when we do talk to each other our conversations are about who said what on social media and talking about other people’s lives. Let’s get more focused on developing our relationship with our husband rather than throwing it out into social media feeds!
3. Intimacy goes down
This one is plane and simple. Intimacy goes down because we are so caught up in social media feeds, and the temptation to feed our eyes with other people’s lives.
4. Lack of confidentiality
When we open up to our social media friends about our marriage to seek for guidance, you have no idea what they are doing with that information. They have the right to freely share your opinions, experiences with their friends on their social media profiles. Your relationship is now exposed for the world to dissect and engage in.
But to know that our God is a true source for relationship building, and any problems we might have should give us confidence that we can rely on Him. God wants us to lean on Him for guidance and support.
So.. are you getting the most out of your social media usage, and is it benefitting your Godly relationship with your husband?
