My partner and I, like many married couples, live together.  We speak over breakfast, commute together and send each other emails and texts throughout the day.  But we don't do any of this on Facebook.

This worries Facebook.  It thinks our marriage may be on the rocks because we haven't - excuse me - "poked" each other for a while.  Facebook knows the key to a successful marriage is to tag each other in as many photos as we can.

At least, that's the only reason I can think for what I saw when I last logged in to Facebook.

THANK YOU FACEBOOK FOR SAVING OUR MARRIAGE!
