Should a lady remain active on social media after getting married?



Hmmmm...don't mind me,i was just musing over my experience with social
media since 2009, when this topic hit me like a bayonet,hehehehe.

We are in an era where our whole world is being influenced not only from
within but also from without by the advancement in technology which
brought about the internet and subsequently the social media. Since
then,the marriage institution has been under all manner of threats;
not only physically but also virtually. It's imperative to take a look
at how social media is affecting relationships and marriages
especially.

On the good side,it has helped to keep relationships alive
as it serves as a very cheap means to keep in touch with loved ones
through chats,sharing of pictures and other media. Just as it could be
fun,it could also be very addictive and take up attention of any of
parties in a relationship from each other as they compete to share
their lives with other people using the very same social media.

Have you checked a typical lady's facebook account? Have you
tried inspecting  the number of friends she has? If you have,you would
readily observe that they always have far more friends than the male
folks,and a very large proportion of such friends are usually guys by
the way. The same applies to the guys too,they usually have more
female than male friends on facebook.
Well,here's where am going with this,a lot of flirting takes place on
social media,especially between people who have never met in real life. 

This goes on irrespective of the relationship status of those involved. It starts as a harmless
flirting here and there but more often than not,it leads into
something else such that those involved usually end up meeting for a
date which could lead to a fling or a relationship.

A lot of relationships nowadays are cultivated via social media and sometimes
even lead to marriage. From my little experience,I observed that you
can convince any lady to go out on a date with you irrespective of her relationship
status,if  you can exercise some patience,persistence,use of the right
words and good timing.

To the issue of whether a married lady should remain
active on social media,it's neither here nor there. A married lady
could have very good reasons for remaining active on social media even
after getting married cos for one,she could be using it as a means of
connecting with her friends,both old and new,and also for work or
business purposes. Well,i think for such a married lady to minimize
problems such as suspicion of infidelity that could arise from active
use of social media,she should be very open with husband  or partner
by freely allowing him access to her social media accounts and by also
discussing new or old friends she meets on social media platforms with him. A married
lady should also be wary of supposed harmless flirtations with her
male friends as this could easily be misunderstood,and she may not be
in full control of the outcome.
