One of the most critical elements of the modern dating scene is finding a person that is a true loving match. Social media is able to link you to interesting people that share an identity, a common school, and the same interests. These are important elements for a relationship; there can be no doubt about that.
Excessive social media use is linked to couples fighting more. One study found that those who are dating people who overshare on social media tend to have lower relationship satisfaction (though positive posts about the relationship itself every now and then seemed to mediate that effect).
More and more studies have been released that reveal social medias harmful role in marriages. Researchers have found that increased social media usage could lead to more relationship problems, infidelity, and even divorce.
The concept of finding love via social media is actually not as unlikely as it may sound. Due to instantaneous connections and the ability to scroll through someones likes, dislikes, and their fave memes, its pretty easy to find common interests with someone and to slide into their DMs to initiate a conversation.
