Abstract

Social media platforms have become part of people's lives. Various studies argued that social media platform usage and addiction could hurt people's health and social life, including marriage. This paper examines the relationship between social media platforms usage and trust in spouses. Two main hypotheses are tested. The first hypothesis is that social media platforms impact the wife's trust in her husband. The second hypothesis is that social media platforms impact the husband's trust in his wife. The paper applies a descriptive-analytic approach to the data collected. The outcome of the analysis rejects both hypotheses, as social media usage showed no effect on one's trust in his or her spouse. The study concludes that other factors strengthen trust in a spouse, as explained by social exchange theory and dynamic goal theory. In addition, the paper argues that social media platform usage purposes have changed from connecting with others mainly to self and career development, being updated with the most recent news and events, and entertainment.
