Technology has made our lives easier in so many ways. Because of social networking like Facebook and Twitter, we can communicate with each other whenever we want to.Distance and time are no longer a factor. You can send a message or a tweet to anyone at any time.
But is this really such a good thing?
It might sound great to be able to talk to your friends and family anytime you want. The websites are there for you to use. You can set up an account, get in contact with those close to you and share all of your life with them online.
All of this is great for long distance relationships, but what about the relationships right there in your own town or city where you live?
Do you really need Facebook or Twitter to talk to these people?
The Downside of Technology
Technology has found a way to make us closer and keep us apart at the same time. We are so used to sharing everything on the Internet that personal communication has suffered. How can a personal relationship last when people tell all of their business on the Internet?
Facebook has allowed us to air all of our problems on our “walls." We can tell what Ewe like and what we hate.
We can tell when we are getting engaged, married or even divorced. We can declare our love for all to see.
It might sound great to share so much, but it isn’t that great at all.
A personal relationship should be just that – personal. No one should know what pet names you have for each other. They shouldn’t know that you didn’t sleep in the same room last night. This information should be kept private. You never know who is reading your statuses and thinking about what you are doing.
Going Back to Basics
People today should get back to the basics when it comes to relationships. Having a personal relationship is a personal, sacred thing. Make it personal again. Share your innermost feelings with your partner and not the rest of the world.
If you are having a disagreement, don’t share it witheveryone. You don’t need other people intruding in on your personal problems. If you want their help, you can always ask for it. However, if you put your dirty linen out there for everyone to see, they will tell you how to wash it. Don’t give other people that power. Keep that power for
yourself and your partner.
Love and Romance
Loving someone is not as difficult as we make it sometimes. It’s not too hard to make your partnerfeel loved and appreciated. I don’t mean that you post on your “wall” that you love them.
I mean taking a few seconds to lean in and whisper it in their ear. It will mean more to them than a million Facebook statuses.
The best relationships are between two people, not two thousand people. If you wanted to be in a relationship with two thousand people, why did you get your partner? You got your partner because you want someone there for the good times and the bad times.
The “friends” on Facebook are only there when they are logged in to the site.
Hopefully, you have understood what I have been writing about when it comes to social networking and relationships.
It’s fine to share life’s joys on Facebook and Twitter, but reserve your love for only your partner. It’s just easier. And it’s something that you should be doing anyway.
