New research has shown that social media websites are behind one in seven people considering ending their marriage because of online posts by their spouse.

The research also found that nearly one in five people say they have daily rows with their partner because of social media sites.

The research by Censuswide for a law firm questioned 2,011 husbands and wives – and revealed that the most common reasons for a person checking their spouse’s social media accounts was to discover who they were talking to, as well as who they were meeting and where they were going.

The resulting suspicions led to daily rows for 17% of couples questioned – with 14% admitting they looked at their spouse’s social media with the specific aim of detecting evidence of adultery, including images and messages posted online.

The Daily Mail reports as many as 20% said they felt uneasy about their relationship after discovering something on their partner’s Facebook account – while one-third said they kept social media log in details secret from their partners.

Pope Francis has also recently commented on the decline of marriage, saying it is part of a cycle of family breakdown which is “plaguing the West”.

Pope Francis told crowds gathered in St Peter’s Square in Rome that young people are now afraid to get married in case the relationship ends.

He also added that feminism was not the reason why marriage has declined, adding that women have equal rights to men.
