Technology in Relationships

Nowadays, people often hide behind their phones. People do not understand the importance of communicating how they truly feel; instead they believe it is better to avoid all this by just disappearing.  Technology is removing the intimacy from relationships and marriages. It also creates a distraction within relationships as well. Couples have begun to communicate more through text and bringing intimacy to the phone as well. In-person relationships don't seem to matter anymore. Couples today most likely met online on some form of social media or dating website, which definitely sets a tone for their relationship. Methods such as "ghosting" have been developed as a result of minimal communication and the desire to avoid the other. Personally, i would be very offended if i was ghosted, and i would definitely want an explanation. It should not be that easy to just drop something, and no one should want to make someone feel so lost and helpless.
