WhatsApp could hold the key to saving marriages....
Jump to: Newest in thread
Scientists have found that the messaging app gives rowing husbands and wives "another place to fight and make up" and that written correspondence provides spouses with the time to re-read and process the point made by their partner.
The researchers explain that the app allows couples to "hash it out digitally" in order to be more relaxed for later face-to-face conversation while emojis help partners express their feelings better.
Dr. Gali Einav, of Reichman University in Israel, said: "Correspondence over WhatsApp not only offers another venue to conduct the relationship, but it can also help save it.
"It actually provides an additional platform to maintain a relationship.
"We can re-read messages to better understand our spouses, hash out anger digitally, and become more relaxed face to face.
"We can also send nice emojis to help express our feelings."

Arguments via text can be easier to resolve.
You get the message, it makes you fume and think “what an absolute prick”
Then you take some time to come up with a ‘good’ reply.
Then when you go back in you read it again and think he’s still a bit of a prick, but not an absolute prick so you tone your reply down a bit.
He does the same. Then you.
It lets things simmer down. And people always deal better with arguments if they get their say - in face to face arguments that doesn’t always happen if the other person interrupts you or gets louder.
