Is Technology Destroying Our Relationships?

The same problems are there, such as communication breakdown, no quality time, irreconcilable differences and the list goes on. But these problems are much more vast than they once were. Rather than couples losing communication later on in the relationship, couples are now getting into relationships that have no communication to begin with. We are learning at a massive speed how to get into relationships with other people using all different types of technology. That when we come face to face with those relationships its normal at first then we tend to go back into our technical communication again.

We find ourselves leaving messages to the ones we love, passing each other through the hallways of our own homes as we go to get a drink from the kitchen and take it back to the home office. Most likely each spouse has their own section of the house for their personal computer. Is this what it has come to? That if we finally do have to sit down for a candlelight dinner we're lost for words?

Each and every generation are going to have their problems with technology. As technology grows so does the loss of physical contact. Children are talking on places like Myspace and Facebook and holding typed conversations that could last for 5 to 6 hours. When it used to be they would be outside playing some type of sport and holding conversations face to face with their friends.

While technology may be part of the problem we as human beings, spouses and parents need to take the time and find a way to gain back that communication we are losing rapidly. Take that hour a day to sit down with your husband or wife and hold those conversations that are ever-so-needed to build a powerful relationship. And take that hour a day to sit down with your children and talk about how that is gone, what is new in their lives. We need to do this before technology gives way to us becoming a mute society.
