Do you Facebook? If you’re a member and over thirty years old, it’s probably your first time belonging to an online social community.

Joining a social network creates all kinds of questions for people, especially if they’re married. The news stories of Facebook-related promiscuity, affairs and divorces have been widespread and create concern.

As a result, some married Facebookers blindly jump into the online community without any set boundaries. Others tip-toe into the shallow end of the social network but don’t get very far. And others avoid Facebook altogether.

But just like most everything in life, you learned everything you need to know to safeguard yourself, your spouse and your marriage…in kindergarten.

Have you gotten a Friend Request from  a former boyfriend or girlfriend?

Is your spouse chatting with “someone” on Facebook?

Does Facebook bring you and your mate closer together or does it trigger arguments?

Facebook and Your Marriage is a brand new, easy-to-use , interactive, “here’s how” guide for married Facebookers to find answers to questions you can’t find anywhere else.

From the general “How do I…”

  • Find friends on Facebook?
  • Unfriend someone?
  • Protect my private info better?
  • Safeguard my marriage on Facebook?
  • and lost more!

To the specific “What do I do because…”

  • My spouse friended an old flame?
  • Feelings get sparked when chatting with my “first love”?
  • My spouse is on Facebook all the time?
  • I am emotionally connecting with someone on Facebook?
  • and lots more!

Different than most marriage and relationship books which read from cover to cover, with Facebook and Your Marriage, the reader determines where they start, where they end, and gets the answers to the questions they need help with right away.

How to Express “Happy Anniversary” with 21st Century Tools

Red And White Valentine's Day Card

Anniversary cards are soooo 20th Century! They’re also impersonal, predictable and the embossed, flowery cards can cost as much as $7-bucks a pop!

This last anniversary (our 15th on July 29th), I wanted to do something special and very different from what I’ve done in the previous 14 years.

So I turned my back on a fourteen year tradition of spending about 20 minutes on the day of my anniversary, scouring through dozens of anniversary cards on the rack to find that “special one.”  It’s a challenge to find a greeting card that resides comfortably between cheesy and tacky, sappy and schmaltzy, and devoid of the annoying glitter and butterflies on the cover.  (I admit that the ultimate decision was made after looking at the backside of the card).

How Facebook Can Improve Your Marriage Relationship!

facebook_chartFacebook is shaping how 120-million people stay in touch with their friends, family, co-workers and acquaintances.

>> Friends no longer need to initiate conversations through phone calls. Simply update your status (a one-liner about what you’re currently doing or thinking), and Facebook friends (FB friends) immediately receive your status on their profile page.

>> Don’t have time to email a bunch of people with what’s going on in your life?  Post a note or send a message to your group of FB friends with one push of the button.

>> Forget pulling out outdated pictures of your kids from your wallet. Upload a photo (or video) of yourself, your kids, and your experiences to your Facebook page and everyone in your social network receives the picture or video clip on their profile and can comment on it.

Facebook has become the new method of communication for people of all ages.  It is a convenient way to keep in touch with friends, family, old acquaintances, and childhood pals.

So, whether you are an active Facebook user or have a tepid interest in joining one of the largest online social networks in the world, how can Facebook improve and enhance your marriage?

Read our five practical ways to improve your relationship through Facebook on our NEW blog (techlationships.com) >>

Ever since the internet has become a regular part of the human experience, cyberspace has been implicated as an accomplice in online affairs, real life adultery, and the break-up marriages.

With every new online fad have come the stories of spouses wandering away from their marriage to a new cyber love interest.  Media has spotlighted tales and trends of online affairs starting through chat rooms, MySpace, Second Life, websites and online forums.

Is Facebook, the world’s fastest growing online social network, just another in a long list of cyber threats to your marriage?

Having been active Facebook users for awhile and experiencing the good, the bad, and the ugly of participating in an online social network, we recognize there are potential threats to your relationship.  But the ultimate threat is not the latest technology … it is the choices you make online and offline … in cyberspace and real life.
