Social media has transformed the way people meet, communicate, and maintain relationships. It allows couples to stay connected throughout the day, find partners through online platforms, and share important life moments with wider networks. At the same time, it can create jealousy, unrealistic expectations, privacy concerns, and distractions from face-to-face interaction.
The overall impact is not entirely positive or negative; rather, social media has introduced new opportunities and new challenges that modern couples must learn to navigate.
