This research is a wake up call to the importance of keeping our relationships at the forefront of our priority lists. After all, no person is immune to potential idols. They can come in all packages, including habitual, late-night Facebook gazing.

Being in a stage of daydreaming and mindless activity night after night will lead you away from the strong, close connection you want to maintain in your relationship.
