Do you spend more time reading e-mails than with your spouse?
Time magazine reports that the average American spends more time reading e-mails than they do with their spouses. Do you believe that?
YVONNE WHITAKER, Beavercreek: “Yes, I do. You’re in front of your computer all day at work, or even at night, and you aren’t with your spouse that much.”
EVERETT JOHNSON, Dayton: “I definitely think it’s possible. There’s not enough time devoted to family and a lack of a relationship with God. People are finding time for other interests, when family should be their priority.”
BETHANY HUSTON, Kettering: “Absolutely. We’re living in a society where people go out to the perimeters of communication, and they’re looking for new journeys and excitement in their lives.”
ERIC BALL, Dayton: “It all depends on what business or job you’re in, and what your current situation is. If your job didn’t rely heavily on e-mails — and I get e-mails on my phone, as well — then that may or may not be the case.”
SUSIE LENTZ, Beavercreek: “Our computers are on all the time. It makes sense.”

My spouse did…he was busy conversing through emails from match.com, tagged.com, plentyoffish.com, flirt.com, eharmony.com. With all of that attention and so many women to choose from why should he devote time to a spouse? He loves his computer and would spend hours late at night looking at pictures on thehunsyellowpages.com With so many bodies to choose from why should he devote intimacy with a spouse? I am so relieved its now over and I have normalcy in my life again.

Yeah I do, but we work different shifts. So we see each other while we sleep!
