Yes, EXACTLY. Ben hates social media. Hates it, doesn’t get… but respects that *I* do. He definitely helps keep me balanced – (in more areas than just this one, haha) – and I’m so thankful for it. I know a couple digital powerhouse couples who make it work, but they’re few and far between. I think this type of “balance” works much better, at least for me!

I fully agree- I sometimes think a blogger would understand what I do and write but I don't think I want another blogger writing about my dating life to the world.

Agreed man – sounds like we've both got it made!

Minority opinions are always welcome – they're what help us think outside the box. I agree that this post is much more about the big picture of taking time to step away from whatever your doing and enjoying what matters most – your time spent with one another.

Thanks for the comment!

I can DEF relate. I'm in the blogosphere 24/7 and my husband … not at all. But he does ground me and keep me in the here and now, when otherwise I'd be glued to my laptop or BlackBerry.

Great post Matt! My girlfriend pointed me to it, which lets you know that we're both bloggers. It seems to work out okay for us. We keep each other in check, and maintain a healthy balance between our online and offline time.

Still, we do struggle. I think it's mostly due to the fact that social media is embedded into our careers. Which can sometime suck, but other times be totally amazing.

I'm glad to have read this post. Not because I think that one of us should be a blogger and one shouldn't, but because it shows what great, young couples are really made of.

Lierin gives you encouragement, inspiration and a good ass-kicking when you need one. My lady does that too. We're both pretty lucky.
