Mobile devices don’t end marriages, but bad mobile habits do.

You may pride yourself on being a mobile-savvy individual, but at what cost? Are you favoring your device over your spouse? I know that nearly a third of you are. My spouse and I have had more than a few occasions when the mobile devices felt like they were coming between us.

But would you actually choose your CrackBerry over your loved one? [via Chicago Sun-Times]

Just scream if you want a CrackBerry addict's attention

A new survey found that about 35 percent of professionals would pick their PDAs over their spouses if they had to choose.

A surprising 87 percent take their personal digital assistants into their bedrooms, and 84 percent check them just before going to bed and as soon as they wake up, according to a work-life survey from Sheraton Hotels & Resorts. Another 85 percent say they look at their PDAs in the middle of the night.

Dr. Sam R. Hamburg, a psychologist and marital therapist, said he has a client who can’t get his wife’s attention because she’s always looking at her BlackBerry. Hamburg said this is just a new spin on the old problem of spouses not paying enough attention to each other.

“When Ralph Kramden or Archie Bunker was sitting in the chair behind his newspaper, it was the same thing, just lower tech,” said Hamburg. “People have to actually make a point of turning off the TV, turning off the radio, and sitting opposite each other at the kitchen table and taking the time to talk. There’s no substitute for doing that.”

So put down the CrackBerry, dim the lights, slip into something more comfortable, and start to rekindle the flames of romance. You’ve been warned.
