The Impact Reality TV Shows Have on Real-Life Relationships

Reality Shows Encourage Violence in Real-Life Relationships

Most people, especially teens, get glued to their screens to see what their reality stars are going through in life and how they handle various situations as far as relationships go. If they are involved in a physical altercation, young viewers will borrow that in real-life relationships, encouraging violence.

Reality TV Shows Flood People with Unrealistic Expectations About Relationships

You may have realized in your favorite reality stars spend little time knowing people they want a relationship with. As a relationship expert, this does not work in real-life relationships, especially if you are marriage-minded. Seriously, how do you expect to find your dream relationship from a suitor you barely know anything about.

A word from the Relationship Expert

Reality TV shows are purely meant for entertainment. For this reason, do not integrate them into your search for true love. If you have met your potential partner on dating apps or websites, plan for a date to know who they really are and spend too much time with them, at least a year, before deciding to take things to another level.
