Social Media vs Reality: How happy are the couples who pretend to be in love on social media really? Shocking revelation in research


In today’s digital and internet era, social media has become an important part of our lives. People do not forget to post their every happiness from morning tea to vacation, from small to big, on the internet. Especially among young couples, a new trend of sharing romantic photos, reels and videos with their partners has started. But do you know that according to psychologists and recent research, the couples who are most happy and satisfied with each other in real life, appear to be much less active or not at all on social media?

It is said that for a strong and happy relationship, it is very important to focus on real life moments instead of flaunting your love on social media. Your partner’s real feelings matter more than likes, shares and comments in the virtual world. Wise couples believe in living and feeling those special moments openly, instead of capturing beautiful moments only in the mobile camera.

1. Privacy is the real key to any strong relationship.

Couples who are really mature and serious about their relationship focus the most on privacy in their personal life. By sharing every small and big thing of the relationship, mutual fights, gifts or personal moments on social media, the sweetness, dignity and beauty of the relationship gradually starts reducing. Love and trust should always be a very personal thing between two human beings. When you keep your relationship away from the eyes and interference of the outside world, the importance and depth of your mutual relationship increases manifold.

2. It is important to respect real life, not show off on social media.

Nowadays, a strange competition of ‘show-off’ is going on on the internet. It is often seen that many people express their love on social media by writing long love captions along with their partner’s pictures, but in real life they neither give enough time to their partner nor respect them. There is a severe lack of mutual understanding and emotions in such relationships. On the contrary, couples who stay away from the glare of social media, focus their entire attention on understanding the partner’s small needs, taking care of them and respecting each other’s emotions.

3. Spend quality time with each other instead of collecting likes

In today’s extremely busy and stressful lifestyle, people have no time left for each other. Many people express their love by sending ‘heart’ emoji on social media, but when it comes to actually sitting together, both of them remain lost in their mobile screens. At the same time, happy couples who maintain distance from social media do not fall into the trap of collecting virtual likes. They take time out from their busy schedules to sit comfortably with each other, share heartfelt thoughts over sips of tea and spend quality time together. This is the reason why their relationship remains more unbreakable and stronger with time.
