There is a line in the song, 'Jab pyaar kiya to darna kya, jab pyaar kiya to darna kya.' Let us tell you whether you should really post your relationship on social media or not.

Makhmoor Dehlvi's sher says, "If love happens, it goes away but love does not go away. This flame flares up on its own and cannot be ignited." Well, nowadays most people believe that a relationship is real only when it is shown on social media. A photo taken holding hands, a picture of a table with two drinks, or a post with a romantic caption. People consider all these as a measure of love. But research and experts' opinions say something else.

Couples who post less are happier.

Studies show that couples who are truly happy in real life often share less about their relationship on social media. They do not need to prove themselves to the world. They value spending time with their partner more than likes and comments. Such couples feel closer, have better communication, and their relationship is stronger.

QuackQuack app founder Ravi Mittal says that happy couples often don't post because they are so busy with real-life moments that they don't even remember social media. At the same time, some couples prefer to keep their relationship private to avoid evil eyes or unwanted comments.

Public Versus Private Love

Psychologists believe that couples who do not share everything on social media feel less stressed. They do not care about external validation, so they focus on growing their relationship in a positive way. Mumbai counselor Priyanka Kapoor says that many couples do not even care about clicking photos; they just want to be happy with each other.

According to relationship expert Shahjeen Shivdasani, excessive sharing breaks bonds, outsiders' opinions interfere, and constant comparisons begin. This can reduce relationship satisfaction.

When doubt takes over

Often, to hide insecurity or internal problems in the relationship, people create an image of a "perfect couple" on social media. A selfie or a romantic post gives them relief from within, but in reality it remains only a performance. Not only this, the habit of getting more likes can also turn into an addiction. Doctors say in this case that people who have low self-esteem seek external support from social media. By doing this, the appearance seems perfect, but the relationship can become weaker inside.

How will the real connection be made?

Experts believe that the less you compare yourself to others and the less you seek external validation, the stronger your relationship will be. Real love lies in the little everyday moments, not just in photos and captions.
