Study: Too much media could hurt marriage

“Over 24,000 people in marital relationships took part in the new research, using 10 media channels,” Bernie Hogan of the University of Oxford’s Internet Institute said in a statement. “We found that those using more media tend to report no greater relationship satisfaction and some even reported decreasing satisfaction.”

Hogan was testing a theory that there is a link between the strength of a relationship and the level of communication through various media outlets. He found that more media use in love can be a sign of a strong marriage — but only up until a certain point. There seems to be “a cut-off point” after which the upkeep of so many separate channels gets cumbersome and might undermine relationship ties.
