Can Connecting On Facebook Lead To Divorce?

STUDIO CITY (KCAL9) — Can social networking lead to divorce? A new study just released shows that 1 in 5 divorces cite "Facebook" as the cause of the split.

Marlo Gottfurcht stopped by KCAL9 Monday to talk about her book, "Love, Marriage...and Facebook."

Gottfurcht logged on to the site when her own marriage was deteriorating and found that connecting and reconnecting with people from her past sometimes led to unexpected results.

She gathered stories from dozens of people in similar situations for the book, which opens up questions on how relationships, dating and "friendships" are changing because of how we relate via Facebook.
