“Annoying” Facebook Couples More Likely to Last

Facebook relationship over-sharers may be annoying, but according to a new study, those same people may be more likely to go the distance.

New research found that dating couples who constantly post things about their relationship on Facebook are actually more committed to each other and likely to be together after six months of dating than those who don’t over-share.

Apparently it’s because of something called the "public commitment theory," according to study author Catalina Toma, PhD, of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “It’s the idea that the claims people make about themselves in public are likely to become internalized about what they think about themselves,” Toma sad. “People bridge that gap, and we become who we claim to be.” (Yahoo)
