Results: It is identified that addiction to social media influences dyadic adjustment (R2 = 0.251) in an inverse and significant way (β = -0.501, p < .001). Conclusions: This research reveals that addiction to social media is an emerging phenomenon with important implications for couples' emotional health and well-being in the digital age.
