He says the popular saying that “between husband and wife, do not put the spoon.” In the digital age, the expression changes and is the smartphone that should not come between husband and wife. New technologies act as a double-edged sword:. In some cases can approach the couple, because in other discussions
The new phones allow contact in real time, using emojis to reveal moods and love for each other but also replace the conversations before falling asleep and sneak appear at dinners for two.
A study published in November in the journal The International Journal of Neuropsychotherapy , considered the impact of technologies in a neuropsychological perspective on 21 couples, showed that when a of the couple uses more technology than the other, makes the partner feel insecure and ignored.
“Engage in technology, separate companion but in his company, encourages a disconnect,” said Christina Leggett, senior researcher of school psychology at the University of Queensland, Australia. “The disconnect in the relationship leads to feelings of dissatisfaction and committed individual sense of security, attachment and control,” he added.
The finding is supported by previous studies. In 2013, Sarah Coyne, a researcher at Brigham Young University in the United States, analyzed and questioned 140 couples about the impact of technology in the relationship. More than half of women (65%) said that the technologies were interfering in the relationship and the researcher concluded that the more technological interference existed, more conflicts and discussions existed, resulting in “couples and unhappy relationships.”
But not all technology fell to the lot of ‘bad interference. ” Television was one of the objects that approached the couple, instead of removing them, since couples saw movies or television series together. The study published in November also proved that television is “the primary means of shared technology between couples” and that when they watch a program together, interacting with each other, there is an “increased sense of security.”
Now the messages written too much and apologies in this way create dissatisfaction and irritation. Likewise, the computer creates an even greater distance, since the device itself isolates the couple.
“Excessive use of the cell phone, or other technology, by one or two, couple of elements, is a way to strained relations, “wrote James Roberts, a professor at Baylor University, Texas, USA, in 2012.
Pieter Rossouw J., co-author of the now published study, indicates some ways to find balance. In addition to the two outputs without technological devices, Professor of Queensland suggests that the couple create areas indoors where technologies are prohibited. “The room should be a sacred space, technology-free,” he said.
