I think social media is one of the biggest threats to a marriage. Social media seems to occupy some people's time so much that they forget how to communicate in person. Some people use social media in lieu of actual contact.
Many men and women will "friend" people whom they do not know. They only add the new "friend" because they have a provocative photo or profile. Oftentimes the friendships made are not ones that the spouse is privy to and this causes mistrust. In the end, this coupled with other personal factors can cause many men and women to stray outside the boundaries of their marriages. It leads to secretive, destructive behavior and can eventually wreck a family. I have a social media accounts, but I won't have withdrawals if I closed them today.
