The amount of time people spend on social media nowadays is getting out of control. The average person will spend more than five years of their lives on social media, according to a study by influencer marketing agency Mediakix.

“Mediakix calculated average time spent per day on YouTube (40 minutes), Facebook (35), Snapchat (25), Instagram (15) and Twitter (one) and projected those figures out over a lifetime, arriving at a total of five years and four months.

When you really stop to think about it, that’s a lot of time. And probably at least half of that time is spent posting selfies and/or talking about your relationship.”

Now, guess what the sign of being in a truly happy relationship is. According to a particular study, this is:

“Those who don't post about their relationship on social media, are actually the happiest.”

Hey, don’t shoot the messenger. We’re not trying to rain on your parade, we’re just bringing you the facts. Our advice? Go a couple of weeks without saying much about your relationship. See if it brings the two of you closer together (or at least keeps the drama down to a minimum). If going off the online grid is TOTALLY out of the question, try some of these tips.

At the very least, taking on the “less is more” approach to your relationship has got to be good for it. Right?

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
