New Delhi, Oct 31 (ANI): A new study suggests that when it comes to serious conversations, disagreements or apologies, couples shouldn't let their thumbs do the talking. Brigham Young University researchers Lori Schade and Jonathan Sandberg studied 276 young adults around the country and found that being constantly connected through technology can create some disconnects in committed relationships. For women, using text messages to apologize, work out differences or make decisions is associated with lower relationship quality. For men, too frequent texting is associated with lower relationship quality. During the study participants weren't just casually dating - 38 percent said they were in a serious relationship, 46 percent were engaged and 16 percent were married.
