In modern times, it has become increasingly challenging to save a relationship or maintain it throughout the years. Previously an outsider was responsible for breaking apart two people, but now due to the advancement of technology, phones and social media have also become a threat to relationships.
It cannot be rejected that mobile phones are an integral part of our daily life. Everything ranging from information to entertainment is a click away. This phone feature does allow people to connect with others who are far away, but at the same time, relationships are becoming superficial.
Phone usage leading to weak bonds and relationships.
- Being with friends and family is no longer an opportunity to engage in good conversation, social media draws attention because people have been conditioned to believe that whatever is happening on social media is far more interesting than engaging with the people around them.
- Staring at a phone does not only limit time from being spent with a partner, but diminishes their presence as well. In these types of cases, emotional withdrawal begins over time, which leads to a breakdown in the relationship.
- Envying someone else's picture perfect life is only one way social media has negatively impacted people. Doing so enables and even encourages individuals to break apart healthy relationships. Understanding everyone leads different lives can help alleviate the societal pressures posted on social media.
- One of the primary causes of conflict in a relationship is a single phone device. The messages or calls received can be quite ambiguous, making it harder to read the other person's expressions and voice tone. Such people tend to construct a narrative that is inaccurate, and thus, leads to misunderstanding in the relationship.
- Couples previously got to know each other by taking long walks and talking to each other. It has now shifted to everyone glued to their mobiles. Due to the mobile attention, the time couples spend with each other is declining in the newly formed bond.
How to restore relationships
To save a relationship, ensure that phones are not allowed on dining tables or in the bedroom. Schedule a special time to interact with your partner. Put your phone on silent for the time being so that you are not distracted with every notification. Focus on your partner and try to understand what they are expressing.
