Technology
has affected and is still affecting all areas of our lives in various ways. As
exclusive as marriage could be to each couple, technology has also found a way
to influence it for good and for bad.
Most
times the negative influence of technology on marriage tends to get more
attention; yet it is important to remember that most negative influences may
actually be a result of misapplying the positive influences.
This
articles looks at ways to apply digital devices for the benefit of your marriage.
Check on your spouse as often as you desire
Some
couples quarrel because one does not check on the other during the day when
both of them are apart for work or business. Digital devices should help break
this type of misunderstanding in various ways.
Voice call: When you call your spouse, the person feels you are
thinking about them. With personal phone you do not need to visit a phone booth
to call your spouse. Show them that you are thinking about them by your call.
Video Call: Take it further and let your spouse see your face
while you talk with them. This makes a lot of difference. The person sees your
smile and feels your presence for a short time. This is most essential when the
person has been away for some days.
Send a message: Whether it is by text or voice note, you can check
on your wife or husband by sending them a message. You may even record a short
poem or words of affirmation and send to the person. With different forms of
chat options available by digital devices, both of you can even discuss on
issues while you are apart without having to delay necessary actions.
Share Relevant Images
Pictures
they say, speak louder than words. Pictures help us preserve memories of events
and people. Couples can share images with each other by their digital devices
and strengthen their relationship, learn and build trust.
Take a picture of the event you are attending alone and share with your
spouse. It helps the person believe that you are where you said you were. It
also helps the person enjoy the moment with you.
Take a picture of yourself and share with your spouse;
add a message that communicates romance and watch how your spouse responds to
it. Create more fun by sharing a picture
of you eating and ask your spouse to join you virtually.
Take a picture of a scene you admire and send to your
spouse; ask what they think about such a scene.
Take a picture of an item you would like to buy for
the home and send to your spouse, asking if they like it. With this, you would
not buy what would end up as a junk in the house.
Watch videos together
You
need not fix another television set in your bedroom to be able to watch what
only two of you should see. Other smaller digital devices can help you achieve
that.
Watch educational or romantic movies alone. This could
be to ensure proper concentration and to express yourselves exclusively as the
movie plays.
Participate on a live event by streaming on your
device without children’s interference.
What to Avoid
Please do not
share your nude pictures or picture of your genitals with each other; it could
mistakenly get to another person.
Do not record
video of your sexual activities to watch later; it may slip off your custody.
Avoid sending
messages to each other via digital devices while both of you are in the same
room; drop the devices and talk face to face.
Be careful
what you share about each other on the social media; maintain your privacy.
Ensure your
calls and messages do not connote tracking your spouse; maintain moderation in
all things.
Avoid watching,
downloading and saving pornographic images and videos in your digital devices;
they do not help your marriage.
