A recent study has found that texting and sexting can play a huge role in how relationships work. They have the ability to both help and hinder a relationship. Basically, texting can either bring two people closer or can drive them apart as per the research presented at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association. 205 adults between the ages of 18 to 29 were surveyed for this research. Emotional security, texting habits and relationship satisfaction were some of the factors they were asked to consider.
Leora Trub, who presented the findings, said, “How couples texted was more important to the satisfaction of the relationship than how frequently they texted.” She added, “We text to check in with our spouse during the work day and to stay connected with friends far away, but we also text to avoid dealing with relatives at the family party and to break up with someone.” It was also found that people in same-sex relationships were frequent or hyper sexters. Well, looks like it's time to grab your phones and get texting.
