Is Your Cellphone Ruining Your Relationship?

If you're anything like me, your'e really attach to your cell phone. It's like I have a new born baby, I can't go anywhere without it. They are our lifeline to the outside world. Most of us keep our phones within arms distance at all times — and that includes when we are in bed.  There was a time when no one needed to have a phone by their side 24/7,  it's like Cell phones are damaging and even ending relationships. Most people never notice this, but they take all our attention from what matters most, it’s taking us away from having real, meaningful interactions with our friends and significant others. Phones can become drug-like. 



While cell phones can help people connect to each other across great distances, it can actually interfere with in-person connections, potentially creating emotional rifts between people who regularly spend time together. In fact, some people talk more about their relationships on Facebook than they do face-to-face with the person they’re actually in a relationship with! It can be the culprit of communication breakdown among couples, because you spend more time with your phone than your partner. 

Smartphones get in the way of our relationships, making it impossible for us to wholeheartedly devote our attention to the present moment. As a result, we lose many moments of wonder that are unique and never to be lived again. 

I frequently see couples eating out in restaurants, where both are on their mobile phones either talking or texting or family sitting next to me, only to note that they’re buried in their phones, not speaking a word. I can't lie, I'm almost as guilty!

Yes, we are obsessed about our phones. Because, at heart, they now control our every feeling.
