The idea of “oversharing” has taken on a whole new meaning in a social media world. How often are the subjects of your Facebook or Instagram posts things that you would never share or involve your friends in if not for a social media platform tempting you to instantly share?

Much of the oversharing on social media is innocent fun, however the more we feel comfortable making the most mundane moments into a public spectacle, the more likely we are to impulsively share things that expose our most intimate relationships. This lack of restraint can be especially dangerous for your marriage.

How can we resist the urge to overshare about our spouse? If you do leave your oversharing off Facebook, are you still exposing too much about your marriage to outsiders in casual conversation? And when you’re genuinely seeking advice, who should you share with — and how much is too much to share?
