Why Im Getting a Divorce in 2014. Before you start assuming I will be leaving my husband, let me just tell you thats just simply not the case. Im looking to leave someone else. Someone you may not know about. Someone who takes up most of my time, distracts me from spending time with my husband, and even spends time with me during the late hours of the night. Her name is iPhone 5. Shes extremely smart, funny, reliable, and keeps me up to date with all the latest trends. And although shes always by my side, I cant help but notice that she is keeping me from spending time with the people who matter most in my life: God, my husband, my family, and my dreams. Shes really good at keeping my attention. So much so that Ive been known to completely ignore people when they are trying to have a conversation with me. She tempts me to use her apps while at church, weddings and funerals, instead of enjoying the moment un-distracted. She even keeps me from working on personal projects that have strict dead-lines. Shes extremely insensitive when it comes to my safety, and is always tempting me to be with her while I drive. I cant help but notice she is slowly infecting my social life, my marriage, and the lives of those around me. Many people act like its no big deal, but I imagine the longer one ignores this issue, the worse ones personal relationships will be affected in the long run. We need to bring our phones back to being an accessory, not a priority. 2014 Challenge: Divorce your phone, your apps, your social-feeds, and engage in relationships with people that actually matter. Vow to spend a significant amount of time off your mobile-devices, unplugged, and instead get back to making personal relationships that will stand the test of time. Other than God, my husband deserves to be the #1 priority in my life and I dont want anything to get in the way of that. The reality is, were all married to our phones in one way or another. Mind you. Not everyone struggles with this. But I hope you will take this into consideration regardless. 1. Learn to balance the time you spend on your phone. 2. Make your phone an accessory rather than a priority. 3. Give yourself limitations as to when and where your phone can be used. 4. Control how you use your phone, and stop allowing your phone to control you. 5. Try spending parts of your weekends unplugged, offline, and away from your mobile device.
