A marriage is something very special and something that makes a couple very happy and should be filled with love. It is a commitment that is public and permanent for a couple getting married. Although a marriage is very special and important to a couple, not every marriage is perfect.

In the article '10 Ways to Handle Social Media in Your Marriage' it guides a marriage on certain problems should be handled and prevented. Here are a few ways that are important to consider.
· Unfriends old girl/boyfriends: Ex-boyfriend and girlfriends are ex’s for a reason. Once in a new relationship it is time for a fresh start. Do not bring old drama into something new. Start off on a happy and healthy note. Whatever you ex is doing or posting should no longer matter to an individual.
· Share happy pictures: If there are positive pictures of you and your spouse post them. If you have pictures of your children post them. Always post positive picture and keep any negativity off social media.
· Don’t share issues: Marriage is all about communication, compromising and growing together. You do not want to share you issues on social media for everyone to see. Talk to your spouse about the problem rather than posting it.
These are just a few guideline that can help a marriage. Although we do have guidance, the future for a marriage can be much more difficult than it is now. A couple may interact on technology much more rather than face to face, this makes a marriage much more messy because through texting, email, Facebook and twitter certain things may be said and misunderstood. Another future issue is arguments are through the internet. Rather than talking to one another in person, they will talk through the internet making it difficult to communicate in a healthy manner.

I couldn't agree more with this post people don't understand the effects of what they do on social media and how their spouse views it. I believe there is nothing more damaging to a new relationship then holding onto an old relationship. People in your past whom you've had a relationship with really don't need to know every detail about your new relationship. But then there's some cases where people stay friends with their ex. I found this really good website it helps you decide whether it’s a good idea to keep your ex on your social media sites or to ditch them completely.

I also agree with not sharing all your problems on social media it leaves room for your friends and family to judge your partner in a light that you've casted on them. Your opinion when your angry or upset isn't always the most clear minded so when you blurt these messages out on social media it can seriously damage the perception of your partner by others. I think it’s best to keep your private issues in the comfort of your home.
This was a great post Jade.
