Should spouses have access to each other’s phones? Many say that mobile phones are personal gadgets while others say love should have no boundary. Saturday PUNCH asked people if it was okay for couples to have access to each other’s phones. For the sake of peace Juliana Agbo I would say ‘no’ for the sake of peace, because many homes today have broken as a result of that. Many couples have separated as a result of accessing their partners’ phones. So, I will say that if a man is providing all what you need as a woman, I see no reason why you should go the extra mile to check his phone. For peace to reign, it’s better to let go of all that. It depends on the man’s policy Bartholomew Ochi I think accessing of phones depends on the policy of the man. If the man makes it clear to the woman that his phones should not be touched, then she should go by whatever he says because he is the husband. For example, my wife can’t pick up my phone because it is mine and not hers. Whatever is mine is mine. Although some people allow it, but it is against my own policy. I don’t think it is necessary Adeola Badmus I don’t think it is necessary because it’s like going too far. Men normally want to keep some things private. So for the sake of the relationship and to put your mind at rest, it’s not good to access your partner’s phone. It is right Zaccheus Ayo It is right because it is necessary for both couples to be free with each other. It also helps to build trust in the relationship, which also makes it last longer. But if the reverse is the case, there will be quarrel. But I think it’s wrong for couples to hide things from each other; they should be free. To avoid misunderstanding Akintomide Nofisat To me, there is nothing wrong with it, unless they both have skeletons in their cupboards. But if there is trust, I see no reason why I should not take my husband’s phone. But I won’t do it to avoid misunderstanding. No problem unless the man has something to hide Lucky Micheal If there is trust, there is no need to hide anything from each other. If a man has nothing to hide, releasing his phone to his wife should not be a problem. So unless there is something to hide, partners should be able to have access to each other’s phones. To avoid jealousy Tosin Olorunfunmi No, couples shouldn’t have access to each other’s phones to avoid quarrel and jealousy. For example, if a lady is too keen on her husband’s phone or movement, she will see things she’s not meant to see and hear things she’s not meant to hear and this will lead to quarrel and jealousy. This can in turn break a relationship because I have seen cases like that. There will be trust and understanding Eugene Musa Yes, couples should have access to each other’s phones because they have a right to know things about each other. If I trust a woman enough, giving her my phone shouldn’t be a problem. It’s just going to create that trust and understanding which is very important in every relationship. It shouldn’t be a problem Adejobi Oyinlola It is okay for spouses to have access to each other’s phones. But because of our modern day relationship which is either a partner is faithful and the other is not, then that will be a problem. But if they are both faithful to each other, I don’t think it should be a problem. A man needs his privacy Yomi Davies No, a man needs his privacy and a woman should respect that. A woman shouldn’t know everything about a man and the phone issue can cause problem in a relationship. So for me, it’s not right.
