Get off FACEBOOK! ... ... Hidden Dangers Lurk

It's recently reported that out of 10 marriages that needed counselling at Fei Yue Family Service Center, 2-3 were a result of obsessive use of FACEBOOK.

Well, FACEBOOK can't take the blame entirely, but it's always a case of, there are some issues that needed ironing out between the married couples, but as avoidance is often less messy than confrontation, one seeks comfort on FACEBOOK, met a so-called 'soul-mate', met-up in person, and then oops, a failed marriage on the cards.

Mummy Eliz's reasoning is, obsessive use of anything is bad, thus to all out there, smash your computer if you have to.

Family Life Team at Christ the King Church once screened a movie, named Fireproof, it's about saving a marriage that is once the rocks, a marriage where communication had broken down entirely due to many reasons.

And during counselling, and after self-reflecting, the most drastic action taken by the male lead was to smash his computer, and use that time instead to face his wife, doing nothing except praying when being ignored initially.

Well, just in case, you think this post is due to Daddy Tiong's excessive use of FACEBOOK, that's not the case, in fact, both of us FACEBOOK's accounts are in dormant stage, registered with profile pictures, we logged in to read once in a while, but have no time to post.
