In honor of Valentines Day, I created an infographic based on an article I found on Pew Research Internet Project website about how couples manage technology in their lives. Thought it would be fun and informational to share!

1. How married or commi ed couples in the U.S. use digital technology in their relationships.
Some negotiate or quarrel over it, some find it facilitates communication and support,
while others have had hurtful experiences by it.

compared with those who have been together for a shorter period of time.
Adults who have been together longer than 10 years are more likely to
share email addresses and social media profiles.
