New Book by Turn the Tide Resource Group Empowers Married Facebookers to Overcome Marriage Threats

Online, April 5, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Seattle, WA - April 6, 2010 - Are your relationships on Facebook negatively affecting your marriage relationship? Are you at peace with who your spouse is friending on Facebook or is it creating marital strife?

A new book has come to the rescue of millions of married Facebookers who are struggling with these questions and more. Facebook and Your Marriage is a "here's how" guide by K. Jason and Kelli Krafsky, a Facebooking couple who have confronted many of the same issues most married users of the popular online social network face: to friend or not friend exes, how much time is too much time on Facebook, what info is acceptable to post for updates, and more.

But contrary to popular opinion, "Facebook itself is not the threat to marriages. Couples not talking about their Facebook experiences is how the problems start and the longer they delay discussing it, the greater the risk to their marriage. Over time, without agreed upon boundaries, many Facebookers can find their marriages in the danger zone," says Jason Krafsky.

Avid Facebookers themselves, the Krafskys sort of stumbled upon the widespread need for their book. During 2009, they posted several articles on their blog, including their most popular, "Is Facebook a Cyber-Threat to Your Marriage?" The response was overwhelming and heartbreaking.

"People shared stories of spouses leaving marriages for newly found "soul mates" on Facebook, and mates neglecting family time spending countless hours playing games on Facebook," says Kelli Krafsky."We even read about a husband who unfriended his wife because she asked too many questions about his Facebook activities."

Desperate for answers with nowhere to turn, scorned Facebooking spouses have posted their highly personal tales on discussion boards and online forums. Now, most of the answers married Facebookers are searching for can be found in the book, Facebook and Your Marriage.

Facebook and Your Marriage, designed to look like a series of threads in an online discussion board, deals with more than Facebook-aided affairs. A lot more!

In a sort of Dear-Abby-meets-Facebook style, the Krafskys address more than 120 questions with helpful tips and practical suggestions to protect a marriage, enhance a relationship, and deal with many other issues-including privacy and security matters, how to use different features on Facebook, and how to handle difficult FB Friends. There is even a whole section devoted to romancing your spouse with Facebook.

"Ultimately, it is our hope to bring common sense and healthy boundaries back into marriages in this social media age," says Kelli.

The 371-page, full-color Facebook and Your Marriage is published by Turn the Tide Resource Group and can be purchased at FacebookAndYourMarriage.com ($19.95 plus S/H). The accompanying, full-service website filled with articles, visual tutorials and helpful resources will launch later in April 2010.
